It is a very big problem, the issue of "reinventing the wheel" because some guys didn't know that another lab had got a negative result but coudln't/didn't publish it.

Is it even that one '...ergo prompter hoc'? I don't know, logic was never one of my strong subjects. Anyway, as one of your old favourites might say: amor fati.

If fate does not exist, then everything that has happened was not bound or destined to happen. However this everything has indeed happened.
