The purposes of testing a hypothesis is to test it. Pass or fail, the experiment is a "success" if it does that - tests the hyposthesis. If the results don't support the hypothesis, then that is valuable data that helps you either abandon or refine the hypothesis.

Science is not a way to do experiments that support hypotheses. Science is a way to figure out reality. So if a well-designed experiment gets results different from what is expected....Hooray!!! You might have discovered a whole new truth!

They should try again. Then check very carefully and see if they did the experiment correctly. They may have to change their hypothesis.
