Reduce failure
Many accidental discoveries have shaped our world and many people have won the lottery.
However, relying on chance to make the next discovery would be as foolish as playing the lottery to make a living.
Large sets of high-quality data are the foundation of scientific success.
Small datasets cannot be generalized. Low-quality data are misleading.
Automation standardizes processes which reduces process failure and variability.
Reducing failure and uncontrolled variability reduces costs and improves quality.
