Yes - but take it from me that it can reaaaaallllllyyyy drag out the process if your results disagree with the status quo. I was made to show that something didn't work in general (in lots of cases in practice), as opposed to just showing that 1. it has not been proved to work, 2. it didn't work in a specific case, 3. my replacement method is mathematically rigorous. And that is why I work for a megacorp, at the moment.
