In that light, industrial processes seem even more impressive.
The super power of modern technology is the ability to perform precise steps on a massive scale and basically forever.
Obviously it takes a lot of effort to keep the machinery running but still, the mere fact that it's running in the first place blows your mind if you think about it.
Modern Machinery multiplies the impact on the world of any human who operates it.
Research experimentation is like doing a gymnastics performance, you're trying to prove the limits of what can be done.
Industry is all about doing it cheap, consistently and at scale. So by comparison you don't want any flourish or special conditions that take lots of practice and super skilled operators.
The magic of industrial engineering is figuring out how to go from research to scale. But the flipside is all the crazy stuff that is achievable at the frontier that never gets productionised
