Experimentation is a targeted question aimed at reality asking it if your ideas about reality are as accurate as you think.
If you're not gaining benefit from it, you're asking the wrong questions. The fault is yours.
People often do a bad job asking questions, admittedly. But the strategy is brilliant--you don't have any theory worth anything without proper experimentation, and building stuff usually is equivalent to a very difficult-to-interpret question, so it's hard to learn principles from it.
You can't build if you don't know why. You don't know why if you don't ask. You can't ask effectively without experimentation.
