I like the agar plate analogy. Of course, the yeast is the star of the show, but so much work goes into prepping the plate.

As someone in biotech, 90% of the complaints I hear over lunch are not about bad results, but about bad mistakes during the experiment. E.G. someone didn't cover their mouth while pipetting and the plates unusable now.
