[Blindmath] analyze of experimental results

[Iddo Keret]

hi,
so you say that seeing graph on a  screen, zoom it, focus at specific 
intervals, see the shape and slope along it, is  not important for 
understand the result of an experiment? and all the result analysis and the 
understanding   can achieve by computer?
i'm sure there is some scientists that will not agree with you at all.
