>For a living, Tatjana worked as a scientific consultant for large technological firms, the government, and military institutions. Using science and instruments as her tools for analysis, she studied complex problems to get to the very root cause, and hopefully offer solutions.
If you're going to make a living using science & instruments to solve problems others can not overcome, you would need to constantly stay as sharp as possible to begin with on whatever techniques & equipment might be useful, whether they were considered out-of-date or not. Especially stuff you had never seen before. Just to maintain readiness. There would be an advantage to starting early and never quitting.
You can tell a lot about a culture from their instruments.
Remember some completely lost cultures developed over many more centuries in their time compared to what we have right now in our current shapshot. Not necessarily more mathematically or technologically advanced, just the same higher reasoning and intelligence distribution no different than modern man today.
You can also tell a lot about a culture when so few can display the innate drive to further the human condition in this respect.
Also the way she is more than doing her part, but anyone who has had the realistic opportunity to leverage the full 1% of her technical ability has not lived up to that expectation whatsoever.
This is a person who has taken much more of a lifetime to enable themselves to invent things as necessary whenever needed, compared to others having equal gifts in this area.
IOW over the last few centuries the occasional person who put enough of their life into this type of scientific preservation, maintenance & progress in the most productive way has usually still not put as much of their life into it.
And occasionally some of these people turned out to be well-known like Thomas Edison.
But mostly of course their work has always been lost since applying truly revolutionary solutions to human conditions requires momentum from a wave of popular culture.
The more you can reliably invent solutions to problems like almost no-one else, the less likely by comparison it would be to stop doing that and spend time trying to popularize what you already have since the odds are so much in disfavor. Building brilliant stuff by hand is the foundation of so many factories, someone at the pinnacle of ability should be empowered to never stop no matter what, just in case people want a new kind of factory someday.
If that takes years of concentration before a truly potentially popular product could be developed, most often those potential partners with the resources & desire to build popularity will be even less likely of making a favorable deal with, compared to just going back to the drawing board and solving previously untractable technical problems 1, 2, 3.
Just in case somebody can really afford to bring the full 1% of those hands' technical progress to a wider swath of humanity someday.
If you might be discovered one day and called upon to tour the world with your instrumental ability, it would probably be best the more you stay well-rehearsed at all times.
