Yes, I think so; but perhaps not always quite so quick and easy. Some
experiments involve many steps, many different paths are explored. Also,
the question I wanted to shine some light on was; does the simple test
which shows success mean that the more complex one is bound to fail? I
think not.
Take care, Malcolm

My understanding that petrie dish was quick easy way to test effect only. A
