    Education-wise it is best to have an “uninteresting” cadaver to start with. Otherwise one might spend half a lesson trying to figure out something beyond their scope. But after grasping the basics it is best to delve into such variations, otherwise one might learn them mid-surgery. For research it is best to have the test subject be as “normal” as possible (unless the research is about the variation), so the findings are not skewed.

      Yep! Most definitely not a scientist!:))) Thank you so much for the details, this has brought me to the point where I’m starting to understand what I don’t know about research in general!
