		However, until other scientists have performed the same experiment in the same way and gotten the same results, the experiment is usually not considered as a "proven" result (see (Nuclear fusion at or near room temperatures; claims to have discovered it are generally considered to have been mistaken) cold fusion for a recent example).
		Finally, even though one has baked bread a hundred times, occasionally a loaf will completely fail "because the kitchen gods are unhappy".
		It is important to realize that some hypotheses cannot be tested experimentally - since we cannot make a measurement which will tell us whether or not the "kitchen gods" are "happy", we cannot perform an experiment which either proves or disproves the hypothesis "the best bread happens when the kitchen gods are happy".

		Iron Chef is an oddity, though; strung out along the more familiar Child-Kerr spectrum are the network’s resident celebrities, each with his or her individually tailored kitchen space and personal vibe, from chirpy-cool Sara Moulton to puckish Wolfgang Puck to compulsive crowd-pleaser Emeril Lagasse.
		Her more animated consoeur, Gourmet magazine executive chef Sara Moulton, of the actually live Cooking Live, is the network’s only real female kitchen professional (not counting the rerun Julia Child, to whom Moulton was once an assistant, and Two Fat Ladies).
		Moulton is attractively digressive and distracted, her show and counter more cluttered than most, but she proves herself time and again a mistress of multitasking, keeping several pots in the air, as it were, answering viewers’ call-in questions while cooking multicourse meals, butt-bumping shut the refrigerator door when her hands are full.
