My dad was an Organiker and he used to go on about the huge amount of lab-craft knowledge you needed beyond what is communicated in reports.

One of his favorite movies was It Happens Every Spring (1949), about a chemist who produces a non-reproducible compound.

I'll have to give that movie a watch.

A huge part of science is being a knowledgeable and rigorous experimentalist. You can do every great for years, but you still have to do things right 25 years in or you'll be unable to sleep
