Well, if you start an experiment trying to prove something instead of learning, you are actually running a demonstration, not an experiment. :)

      This is kind of an interesting quote from Gavin Andresen on the whole experiment thing: Gavin Andresen, the 46-year-old lead software developer for the Bitcoin project, is eager to find the answer. "I'm hoping to learn," he says, whether "a nongovernmental global currency" is possible. "Can you get from where we are to the vision of billions of people all over the world using Bitcoin just like they use any other currency? That's the grand experiment." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323809304578429142650304564.html?mod=rss_opinion_main http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142412788732380930457842...
