If something doesn’t work, I want to know it is not effective #1. That way I don’t have false hope and waste my energy and time, but instead turn my attention to find something actually effective. And also skip the negative side effects of something that won’t have any benefit.

It’s not the responsibility of one study to resolve depression. That would be nice and convenient, but it’s a scientific community driven solution space exploration. And determining a path is ineffective leads to more time and money spent on alternate paths to find something which is effective.
