Having records to look back on—data from experiments—is truly useful. That’s a great point.

There’s so much value in being able to look back through all your experiments to see what you rejected or what didn’t work the way you wanted.

I like the question of how many numbers in some given range have no small prime factors. There’s some tough number theory there!
