If you during your investigation that you don't verify the cause of the problem you can't ensure it won't reoccurr. I would want to make sure my data supported the conclusions before they were published, and preferably have a working solution.

If you look at this as an "academic problem", you will come to a similar conclusion. It is very much looked upon badly if you publish in "the popular press" before you do so in a refereed technical journal!
