Naturally, it would seem that the experiment that *might* produce the *biggest payoff* is to be determined - whether that be *confirmation* of numerous hypothetical constructs, and/or the *elimination* of other substantive,*alternate explanations * to a specific problem... my own group periodically conducts "epigenetic surveys & evals" as they relate to goal apprehension/ progress. Of course, *probability assessments, *conjoined to the inherent risk management components, are brought into focus, but the question of resource allocation is always an unwelcome 'reality," or "inconvenient truth." Sadly, protracted R&D is often an excruciating reminder of one's own levels of patience and resolute perseverance. *Good Luck & Good Will in Your Hunting!*
