I think the "biology gonna biology" is often a bit overplayed. A friend of mine was a high level manager at a certain petrochem's biotech arm and they ran into a bottleneck that was erratic. My friend kept saying "hey guys it's probably this" but they refused to listen to her and they went on a year long saga to search for the problem, including a full DOE (design of experiments) analysis. It turned out she was right.
