On the other hand, specialized strains sometimes give particular sets of unwanted quirks to the projects they're used in. On the gripping hand, there are so many handwavium strains that nobody has room to store samples of all of them.
Cathy: "You would be surprised how many different Eezo strains we have in storage at the Little Big Bang Labs that never got into mass production... *grin* "
