Summary
The ability to analyze and integrate collected data that isn't your own is a critical aspect of scientific research, particularly for problems that have eluded scientists for a long time. The utilization of a wealth of data makes it easier to verify theories or generate new ones, and to possibly uncover solutions where others have yet to find them.
