The more you post responses to your own post, the less likely it is that someone with expertise will take a look. Stop this kind of posting, please.
Writeteacher is right...please don't do this. You will get attention, you don't have to stand up and yell.
To answer your question, in publishing research results, ALL results must be published and considered, i.e. discussed. The degree to which the results either prove or disprove the hypothesis must be considered. Whether exceptions SUBSTANTIALLY WEAKEN the theory is a matter for discussion.

I definitely agree with B. Assuming that the experiments were not faulty, the theory needs to be rejected or at least modified.
