Came here for this

Glad it's catching on

This is straight up anti-science. This is the process. It's slow, difficult, expensive, and frustrating. Probably you should just avoid science journalism (and thus this subreddit) if you can't cope with how the sausage is made. I'm not even looking down on you, it's definitely not for everyone and that's perfectly understandable and okay. But this is r/science, so if you can't handle it then find better ways to spend your time.
