No where does it state in my posts that they are at the cutting edge of research, pushing as far as possible etc etc but clearly you see yourself better than large amounts of other contributors and even GWS to say that "Mechanicus does not impreove nor do they do research".

Clearly you are wrong, the 'lore' you so preciously cling to even says so but your ego won't allow it. There is not shame in admitting you said a silly thing when you said that the Mechanicus doesn't research stuff. Note to the mods, Neithan says you are letting wrong stuff getting put on the pages ;)

In all seriousness, they aren't the best at development but then again I think it is overplayed how bad they are.

Attempting to strenghtening it would, but definination, be bettering it, so yeah, at   least once they thought they could do better and in Deliverence Lost, we see Corvus and his crew (including a Mechanicus bod) 'better' the process by making fast, strong Astrates. Those only went wrong because of the Alpha Legion. Though it does beg the question that if you are good enough to get to where they did with the geneseed, why could they do just clean the sample like the traitors did...that doesn't wash well with reality.
