Meaning depends on context and audience. For instance, you could make the observation that President Obama is black but this would be a pointless observation since most people already know it. In fact the observation is so obvious the president used it as a joke on a late night TV channel.
So for an observation to be meaningful it needs to be pertinent, relevant, timely, precise and accurate.
If we are trying to launch a vehicle into space and you note that the acceleration constant for the earth's gravity had changed by 1percent. This would be startling, timely, and maybe even alarming. If it turned out that the measurement was not repeatable the observation would be not be meaningful. It would probably just be annoying.
For the most part in science, the most meaningful observations are repeatable.

Difficult isn't the word I would use. It is impossible to draw meaningful conclusions without careful observation and experimentation, and it would be dangerous to try, because there be the monsters of error in those waters. You might get lucky once, but it isn't about luck. Guessed answers aren't useful, and answers not based on observation and experiement are nothing more than guesses.
