I regret that. I meant to say 'may seem banal' (now edited in the text) and push another of those wonderful images out there.

My intention is to convey an understanding that the tedious, often repetitive task of meticulously collecting data is what makes science possible, and that it is substance and not spectacle that's important.

But to get there, one may need to take an easier route to get others to come along, often times using spectacle. Seems like I've failed? 🥴
