That depends on the sort of experiment. If releasing Lojban into the wild means everybody speaks their own broken version of the language, then it loses most of its value to me as a means of human-computer interaction. In fact, if it turns into a natlang, I would suggest that most of the value is lost for most everyone. We already know where to find natlangs. -- Jay Kominek
