In my own opinion, peer-review is not sufficient for "surprising" results.
Rather, another layer, that of "having your paper cited by others as a foundation for their own research" Or "having others confirm your findings"
At that point, I would think it's acceptable. Too often new surprising results turn out to be errors.

Once those findings have been verified by others in that field, we are in a

"New surprising findings", self-contributed, are anathema to encyclopedias.
In other words, Peer review. We're talking about citing published papers. Not just citing from your own website or anything like that of course!
