If nothing else, the EmDrive has been a great exercise in how hard it is to control all variables in a sensitive experiment where the measured effect is small.
It actually blows my mind how well the LIGO folks have accomplished this to be able to detect gravitational waves.
I really like the effort going into this, despite a positive result being impossible to our knowledge. Those are the high risk high reward experiments with the potential to discover new physics. I still expect it to be experimental error, but there's always that remote chance we'll learn something we didn't expect about the universe.
