Usually, they have two competing theories. One is the "new" unproven theory, and one is the "conventional" view.
If the new one proves out, they are happy. If the old one proves out, they are not happy. If the data is completely different, they are ecstatic...as they will now be gainfully employed for years trying to figure out what the new data means
