As a materials science major, this comment made me smile. All my labs at Carnegie Mellon were like that, it was(is) great. We just take a bunch of materials and then argue which one would be the best choice. The only time I had to produce results was when we synthesized a known superconducting structure and just had to show that it superconducted (how strongly wasn't important). Good times that sound much better than people's experiences in physics and chemistry. Vindication!
