Well, of course we expect the gravity waves to be there, given the other effects of relativity that have been confirmed so far. However, scientists still observe, verify, measure. As one other poster mentioned, the equipment to detect gravity waves from afar has not yet been able to do the job (due to opportunity or sensitivity, don't know). If for some reason they do not find the waves (and the instruments are shown to be good), then there will be some more deep thinking to do: were we really looking at objects different than what we thought? Is there some theory more twisted than relativity that needs to be made to explain the previous results as a special case and also explaining the new results???
