Are we talking about nurturing biological systems or making silicon computer
chips? There is a difference. There is all sorts of different types of data.
Relevant data is useful. We can always wonder about exploring different
options but is that paramount for making decent quality CT at this time?
Personally, I don't see it that way. Can we do it better in the future?
Probably but that is no reason not to use the current tools we have now to
their fullest extent.

I have read all your posts to this list. Where is the data about what you
are doing specifically? Many people here are willing to help anyone that is
seeking help (as much as that is possible). What are you unsatisfied with?
Quality, yield, size, disease, etc. What are your goals?

John,
Have you ever bought something and had to put it together yourself?
Throwing the instructions away before hand. Big mistake right. Knowing
the steps and the catalyst involved are important. Where do you think
  those modern world miracles of science came from. Data and science
is what SFI and members of this forum are constantly calling for. Now
it's not important?? Please let's make up our minds. Take care
