The fact is that scientific experiments which 'prove' a theory are only deemed to be good experiments if they are independently verifiable and reproducible.
This is 180 degrees to what you posit, i.e if 'never a guaranty you will always find the same effect or effects the next time' was true of a particular experiment which 'proved' a theory then that particular experiment would be discounted.
