I have no gripe with pompous, overbearing people if they can back it up with ability.
Of course there is a reason to test all characteristics of matter for EP violation. It isn't like the community with Eovos balances sat back and said, "Dang, parity. Why didn't we think of that". What they may have said is, "Dang, single crystals, why didn't we think of that?".
Uncle Al spent over a month of high-end CPU time calculating a number that can be had in an instant using your brain. (the chirality of a single crystal). In the end, that number isn't useful for theory or experiment in the EP test.
So, the noise/signal ratio on this subject is just too high.
