So on one hand, yes. On the other hand, there are tasks that are onerous to non technicians.

If you asked me to do it manually, sure. I’ve interacted with a bunch of software, understand measurement systems, done some programming etc.

My wife on the other hand… There’s no overlap between ecology or life sciences in this task. Outside her ability.

  Do we really need to define things in terms of what the average person is capable of? Especially when the biggest barrier seems to be “willingness to put a small amount of effort into learning a simple process”?

    Yes. It’s called the Network Effect. People use discord because people use discord.

There’s no equipment calibration in ecology or life science?
