    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.

      More precisely no results are supposed to be expected. But in general the experiment is repeated to validate results. So you are correct.

      Internet stranger you have given this comment far more attention than it deserved and been kind while doing it.
