When someone is lactose intolerant, it means its intestine cannot absorb lactose, which will stay in the lumen and be consumed by intestinal bacteria and produced gases, that's why intolerant lactose people have flatulence and abdominal pain while eating food with lactose in it.
Let's go back to the question, before being consumed, lactose in the lumen intestine will attract water from the enterocytes to its side by oncotic pressure.

Do not confound oncotic pressure (which concerns macromolecules like sugar or proteins) and osmotic pressure (which concern micromolecules like small ions (sodium potassium and chloride...)).

Drupady [299]

As a control for the sasquatch experiment, a fake deer is placed in the forest. The role of this control in experiment is to provide a basis of comparison to the experimental group.

Scientists often analyze hypotheses developed by them by means of controlled experiments. A controlled experiment is a scientific test performed under controlled conditions, denoting that only one or a few variables are altered at a time whereas, all the remaining variables are kept constant.

Controls are utilized in an experiment to reduce the effects of variables besides the one being tested. An experimental group is also sometimes referred to as a treatment group, which receives a treatment in an experiment.
