"I didn’t really expect to find a whole lot of interesting things, and found what I expected."

Which is a great way to conduct research! Nice work.

This reminded me of my senior project in number theory, when I manipulated a large data set, wondering what I'd find. Eventually, I found quite a bit.

Also reminded me of this quote by Wernher von Braun:

"Basic research is what I am doing when I don't know what I'm doing."
