This must mean that what Anno wrote was to be proved, and now you have
done so. Right?

If "trial" means "Versuch", then "pseudo-trial" comes out as
"Pseudo-Versuch", which doesn't make much sense.

Please post a small code snippet that supports your statement.

Well, that plainly clear.

I can never understand the attitudes of new posters to this group who get
all agressive and defensive at the slightest hint of any criticism. I
suspect most of them have social and relationship problems if they have such
a thin skin.

A trial is an experiment (if it isn't an interrogation). The word you
want is "attempt".

A lot of common usage and a few dictionaries disagree with that and
include "to make an effort to do" as one of the meanings of
try.

But I missed all the context...

The distinction is exactly what I'm getting at, but that's "try". "Trial"
appears to have a somewhat specialized meaning.

"To see the effect we tried increasing the voltage" -- "a trial increase" (ok)
"He tried to answer the question" -- "a trial answer" (no)

Then again, there are many dialects of English -- maybe it works in some.

I love this stuff, but it's way off topic.

Ahh. I completely missed the "Pseudo-trial" part and saw only the "tried"
part.
