Excellent article.
I have found that it is possible to find out some of the failures by
going to conferences and talking with people. For every field there is
usually someone who knows what has been done, and what has worked and
what has not. The problem is that this is very hit and miss and the
information is not very accessible, which is not a good way to do science
