If something is purely theoretical you can't test it in the lab. You need to move beyond theory to start testing how a technology really works.

There cases where a technology might be dangerous and you want to stay some time with the theorethical analysis of the problem. In other cases you don't want to do falsifiable design but put the technology into reality as soon as possible.
