I'm guessing dylan604 is a manager of some sort.

"I discovered a new element!"

"It's expected we'd find a new one eventually. Now get back to work"

    That's a rather petty closing paragraph. Your comment would be better without it.

    There is actually great value in confirming things we thought were probably right. A person upthread mentioned that the LHC hadn't discovered much new, but the vast majority of its data does provide confirmation of what we thought and when we talk about a "reproducibility crisis" it is actually good to know that these things are correct even if it's not headline news.

      Sure, call me out, but not the petty comment which I replied? I think the petty meter has become too sensitive
