Are you a trained scientist, especially in the biochem/medsc field? What makes you more certified to say this isn't a revolutionary tool?

I personally know several people that do research that have unlocked new possibilities through this tool. My wife is a neuroscientist and she's used this tool a few times for reasons that are above my head (even with a Msc in Microbiology). This type of work used to take a PhD student 4 years or more to do a single relatively simple protein. Getting answers within a few seconds is revolutionary.
