I suppose so.   But there are situations, especially in biology, where some 
aspect of an experiment can be reproduced but only to put a confidence interval 
on a correlation.   Insisting on experiments that are strictly boolean valued 
is too harsh if there are other variables that are hard to measure, but don't 
completely destroy the correlation between things that can be measured.
