You mean, like, a drill is infinitely faster than putty for
drilling a hole?

You mean, like, a rocket is infinitely faster transport to

That's not quite true. It is probably possible to induce a mutation for
round up resistance and find it in a crop. It is probably true for BT
protein genes as testing for them would take so long that it would be
impossible to find. Round up resistance could be found by spraying with
Round Up and seeing if anything lives.
