---How is the experiment getting on?
---That is the way it goes.
What does "That is the way it goes" mean in this context?
As far as I know, it often means bad or disappointing things happen sometimes.
Thank you. |

Hi Jason,
I think you pretty well nailed it. In the absence of any other context, that's what I would assume here. The experiment hasn't been going so well; the subjects have grown three heads and now glow in the dark; the place where the lab used to be is now a large smoldering crater. That sort of thing.
