Not doing these tests would hold back progress even more. Do you have good examples of pointless experiments? Not bearing out "useful" results is hard to evaluate because rejecting a hypothesis can be important as well. To me, it seems science is moving away from appropriate testing due to funding issues, etc. I don't think making it worse by making illegal certain tests would make it any better.
