It may happen more often that reported. If we do the operation on forty hives and one does not do as expected, we blame error. If we have one hive and it happens, no one believes us, or we may blame ourselves, not mention it, and forget it. Chances are we cannot make it happen again.
The problem is that in beekeeping, even research, rare anomalies are just shrugged off and blamed on something 'going wrong'.
That is true in labs, too, and the temptation is to 'cook' the results. if the expected results are known.
We miss a lot that way.

True, and that places many experiences outside the reach of current science philosophy as I understand it.
BTW, that gale showed up after all and I am hiding out the worst of it in the shelter of a headland.
