My thesis adviser taught me "never run a pilot study." His point was that you should start to do every study as clean & neat as possible and assume that it will "work." Certainly, many of these studies will turn into pilot studies when problems crop up but to start out assuming it's a pilot study is just wasting time & energy. There is, IMO, a fair amount of wisdom in this approach.
