I think this statement is either meaningless or incorrect. At the very least your conclusion is context dependent.
That being said, I ran gels back in the stone ages when you didn't just buy a stack of pre-made gels that slotted into a tank.
I had to clean my glass plates, make the polyacrylamide solution, clamp the plates together with office binder clips and make sure that the rubber gasket was water tight. So many times, the gasket seal was poor and my polyacrylamide leaked all over the bench top.
I hated running them. But when they worked, they were remarkably informative.
