The sad truth of your comment is that in many cases the scientific community by its very nature, is forced to ratify and review everything so that it can withstand the critical eye. Many discoveries in the past come from failed experiments. The failing to achive a desired result can have as much merit for future discovery as a successful enterprise. The scientific community balks at learning from others mistakes and has a tendancy to ostracise those that failed. I personally enjoy the insights into the mindsets and thoughs behind an avenue of research, successful or failed. I find it helps give me a glimps at what others feel is possible. O.
