apparently everyone seems to have forgotten about the test. What happened? I
seem to recall most of the task force disagreed with L and then

question
death-note
Why didn't the experimentation for the 13-day rule push through?


For them to test the 13-day rule the Death Note has to be used. the Task
Force's disagreeing with L was over the fact they would have to sacrifice
someone for an experiment.

The Japanese Police were already a bit iffy of L since the Lind L. Tailor
incident where L had a condemned criminal sacrificed just to test how Kira
kills and where they may be, and the Police and the Task Force have to keep
the moral high ground and not go around killing people for tests/experiments,
especially with the Death Note.

Also remember that the Task Force didn't learn about the Death Note or the
fake rules until quite some time after Light's and Misa's confinement where
"Kira" was a member of the Yotsuba Group, all the while Light was handcuffed
to L. to the Task Force this was more than enough to clear Light's and Misa's
names without stooping down to Kira's Level, L on the other hand can see
himself on the same level as Light as per what he said in Death Note Relight

take notice of the lines i emphasized. it forebodes his death but also
describes the kind of person Light/Kira is, and that L himself is just like
that so L would have no problem "testing" the Death Note
