Not quite.
A blind experiment is designed so that individuals do not know whether they are so-called "test" subjects or members of an "experimental control" group.
ALL science involves stating a hypothesis and then attempting to prove or disprove it. That being said, I agree that trying to prove something you already believe to be true could be viewed as a conflict of interest by someone looking to discredit you.

And this is how I know you will argue regardless. Even if a
double blind (neither the individuals nor the researchers know who belongs to the control group) study turns up the result you ask for, you can always point back to your egg study and say "We'll know better in the future, science makes mistakes all the time."
