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.

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!
