Where is the evidence that this "experiment" is valid and will yield
useful results?  (Thus far, the only justification cited is the
pleasure that Gwern takes in mocking the community's reaction.)

Again, imagine if hundreds or thousands of users took it upon
themselves to conduct such "experiments" without consulting the
community or the WMF and confirming their methodologies' soundness.
