Experiments are "fishing expeditions" only to the extent they are done without any ideas or predictions of outcomes

"Fishing expedition" describes the thinking of the researcher (applicant or reviewer), not necessarily the merits of the experiment

@gjcveenstra Reminds me of the saying "that's why they call it fishing, not catching."
