Thank you. As a layman, I don’t always see the bigger picture. I cannot recall the specifics right meow, but there was some sciency stuff I read about the other day and I was questioning why they would spend money on that, when there are other things to figure out. Maybe one day their results will help with something else.

I read this post and my first thought was "oh, it's like how fans post videos of fun glitches in video games and then speedrunners sometimes end up finding a use for them in order to beat the game faster."

Scientific progress is just glitch-hunting and speed/challenge-running.
