If I were doing an experiment on a group of people but I didn't want them to know they were being experimented on I would hide all evidence of my actions.

If someone from outside the group I'm experimenting on found out about the experiment I wouldn't really care because it doesn't affect the outcome.

There was a Voyager episode like this. Creatures out of phase with our reality were experimenting on the crew. Once the crew became away of the experiment, they had to quit because awareness ruined/changed the outcome of the experiment.
