Definitely changed the field — 2009 was a good year for iMN w/ good mass spec tools (i.e, linear ion trap gasp!) — much progress being made. My favorite was SEMA3B in pediatric MN, gave grand rounds on this a couple years ago.

EVEN more interesting is; I didn't need a massive Bioinformatics team to come to those conclusions! Ha!

2-dimensional LC is the fairest way to cheat on the front end and get spatially resolved peptides. How do glycosylated species fair in this context? Does ETD help?

Fair cheating is the key :)

Magical math. Image analysis appears to be a great application of these algorithms!

3 miles wide; 100 meters deep, 8x more money and 3x less time. Maybe, answer question or appear to answer question? Answer limited questions in defined timeframe... complex biology will be unveiled only in the correct framing of the question. Iota(s) of knowledge gained? How much can be addressed?

It feels as if thumbs are on the scales!

Yes, we agree and more need to state it explicitly to slow this arms race of total ID and hyperresolution focus that often isn't needed.
Driving a ferrari is fine, but if all you need is a few bags of groceries, a single geared bicycle will do the trick ;)
