Researchers typically aren't instrumentalists and must rely on manufacturers for instruments crucial to their careers. Manufacturers often prioritize mass production, leading to built-in obsolescence, with innovation and excellence being rare. In contrast, the speaker emphasizes their approach, where innovation and excellence are standard, and instruments are continuously upgradeable. Their focus on computerizing research spectrophotometers from 1976-1991 underscores the belief that computers should handle most tasks, viewing hardware as merely a component housing the sample and generating signals (Olis Clarity).
