A theory is most likely to change when new evidence challenges its predictions. Studying a larger sample can provide more representative and reliable evidence, making it more likely that researchers will find results that support revising the theory. Getting results faster, working in a different lab, or analyzing frozen samples does not by itself provide evidence that would change a theory.
