Biological assay sensitivity typically far exceeds the range of biological noise. My life is full of efforts to isolate cause and effect from false positives.

Also, I suspect that my thinking works against me. Nature does not fear complexity nor interdependence. Yet, I am charged with looking into the causes of observable difference, and worse, reproducing the difference by operating upon an isolation that is largely rooted in perception, which is necessarily caged by the limits of human comprehension.

I am inclined to tease apart your sentences and interpret them into a readily accessible narrative. Upon reading the translation, people would find you knowable (although still caged by the limits of our comprehension).

But could they induce me to react in a consistent fashion, revealing something novel and unknown about me? If so, they must then submit a 12-page proposal of a project of great promise based upon these findings.

That's my career.
