God, I don't know, brother. I think you're on to something!

This is an interesting theory. Experimental data not harvested
personally is invalid. My personal theory is that experimental data not
amenable to reproducibility is invalid, though I am not responsible for
personally reproducing each and every datum bit until the universe keels
over from fatigue.

Instead of just hitting "Enter" at every opportunity try the "expert"
?
