What is your experience in the US scientific community? Do we allow failures here too? I think not. Oh, we say we do but in reality, we won't. If you fail often, you don't get grant money or asked to participate in research. After all, when I sponsor something, I demand results. If you cannot provide results, perhaps another researcher will. So yes and no. We do or do not allow an experiment to fail depending on your definition. I know a physics professor that got tenure at 36 yrs. Why? Because he had all sorts of grants of which the kollege took 20%. His wife was hopeless and got her tenure because they didn't want to lose him too. After she got her tenure, he resigned. She is relegated to garbage work.
