Hrmmm... dunno, trolls already know how people will react. Experiments aim to find that data out. So IT'S NOT A TAMATER! :D

Trolls may have a hypothesis about how people will react but they don't actually know until after the trolling is complete.

My point is that trolling's goal is to obtain a particular outcome. An experiment doesn't set out to to obtain a particular outcome. It is [or should be] unbiased.
So, for example, if that woman was experimenting, then she really didn't know that people react a particular way to conceited women, and was therefore not trolling.
On the other hand, if she was trolling, then she already knew that people would react in a particular way, and therefore was not performing an experiment.

Just sayin'... there's a distinction.
In motive, where it matters, but in logic as well.

I say all that to say the distinction between trolling and experimenting lies in motive.

Much like in the world of 1950s art music, I believe there exists a third stream.
