Almost like research is not a guaranteed thing. Kinda like you're trying to figure out the unknown.

So is venture capitalism; it's expected that most bets don't pay off and money is made because, if the VC makes good choices, some will pay off hugely. I think it's a matter of hiring the right people and managing them well.
