Standard scientific method, dummy. Go look it up. Theory always yields to test results. Reality never yields to theory.
True, if you're testing a new hypothesis and your test results don't match the theory, then
probably the theory is wrong or something was overlooked. However, the scientific process also allows for repeatability. If you're testing a known principle that has been tested many times before and your results don't match the theory
or the results of every other person who has performed the same experiment, then odds are high there is a problem with your experimental set up rather than the theory being wrong and every other experiment before yours being wrong.
Also, be careful slinging personal insults on a forum like this. While I'm sure you have a lot of experience in certain automotive fields, there are many people on here who are much smarter than you or I and a vast range of experience.
