>This sort of proves my point, no one knows which exactly research JWST will do upon deployment

The research isn't a secret, JWST is already booked solid for like 18 months after it launches. You can see how that time is allocated across various projects here: https://www.stsci.edu/jwst/science-execution/approved-progra...

Yeah, I read that, just not impressed by minor projects with low outcome. It roughly equal to routine PhD-tier experiments done on the accelerator at some provincial lab.

Just look at breakthrough chances from, for example, 5 days trans-neptunian object search or the pointing of instrument at largely unexplored Uranus system for petty 30 hours.
