    You are supposed to repeat the experiments nearly identically and look for changes from the last run to verify results.

      Kind of, but you generally don’t “expect different results” as the phrase goes. If anything you expect similar results and different results indicate something might have been done wrong. So science uses repeats to validate results, basically the opposite of the saying.
