Could be wrong here, but in physics and most natural sciences, you don’t throw away your model if you have one experiment against it.

Usually isn’t it looking for an experiment that proves it and is repeatable?

If I discover a new element in one experiment, the results are published.

After publication, many labs will try to repeat and its not taken away if one can’t do it. Only if all can’t and it casts doubt on whether I did it in the first place.
