    I wouldn’t call it bullshit. This is how science operates. We wouldn’t have breakthroughs if we just never followed up on weird shit happening in labs. And it’s just as important to shut down bad avenues as it is to find good ones. In fact most of the time this ends up with another team figuring out the first team left the microwave on or something. As long as the first team is open and honest it’s working the way it’s supposed to.
