  "Discovered" like penicillin? It irks me when it's presented as accidental, when it does go through testing after

    Penicillin was also accidental? I don't understand the point.

      Maybe he conflates discovery with accident. Materials science searches chemical space and makes discoveries. There is no accident in that kind of discovery?
