So if you were the labchief and some random stranger told you that he could build a magical unicorn in your lab you wouldn't give him a chance @sarkeizen?just to humour him?

I'd give him some thorazine and call security.

 years ago, by me,documented here @markE.your not a gambler? you sounded like  a roulette numbers expert a few posts ago.what would you have to lose?nothing,because either the guy would build a magical unicorn or you'd get a good laugh at his own humiliation.both ways you gain something.

you'd get a good laugh at his own humiliation.both ways you gain something.

You are stating that I'd gain something.  However clearly you humiliate yourself here pretty much all the time.  So we don't get that benefit and it costs us in labspace and materials.  Those things could be put to work for people who have work which can be usefully judged as likely to be successful.  Your work, by your own admission can't be.
