Tony nodded. It was difficult to judge when human trials of an experiment were in order, though he was fortunate enough to have study subjects that were paid well enough that it didn't matter quite as much. "Yes, that's important. Finding your mistake and fixing it up, especially if it's a beneficial formula."
