No, science is about disproving things. You come up with experiments to test if method a or b are wrong. The more experiments that fail to disprove a theory, the stronger the evidence for that theory is - and any new theory has to Either match the old results under the same tests, or give a good reason why it doesnt match.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, which is why every good scientist expects this effect to go away (regardless of hope as to whether it is a real effect or not).
