"X-ray and gamma rays are a completely different category of research from optical research, you can't compare the two directly."
Although using data from various wavelengths helps us understand the physics, as you say, there really is no way to compare the data - they are used in conjunction and one wavelength regime can't replace the other. This is a nice example:
