You are wrong. The LHC was absolutely prepared to observe new "unexpected" (for the "Standard model") particles. It just didn't happen. A lot of theorists who had developed the theoretical extensions of the "Standard model" are disappointed about that, but that's what is observed. Regarding the gravitational waves, you're also wrong, as the theory and the observations matched even without the gravitational waves being directly observed, the science is simply so good that completely unexpected results (in the sense you talk) are outside of the resulting limits of the previous measurements and calculations. The level of the science we have now is really stunning. The only sad part of the story is that all investments in the science are really minute compared to all the money spent on armies and weapons (e.g. just as the order of magnitude one year of the US military budget is at least 30 times bigger than the NASA's). There's immense amount of the new information that can be obtained by the repeated observations. But the expectation of anything to disprove too much of what we know up to now is simply not realistic.
