That is pretty cool, it almost sounds like what drives ASM programmers, but even lower level than that.

It doesn't seem to be 100% computerized yet, people still talk about doing real experiments where they expect to find something new about what they're studying, as opposed to just finding their own mistakes or reading about other people's discoveries.

I'd imagine that's probably part of the appeal for some people, in tech so many of us almost never discover anything new that would be of interest outside that one specific project, except an occasional framework bug.
