Here we go...
The speaker claims that many discoveries and creations are found in case of accident
in case of something: used to describe what you should do in a particular situation, especially on official notices:
exp: In case of fire, break the glass.
you may just use 'by accident'
with reason that people could always find answers to other questions besides ones they are focusing on. be careful of using words like 'always'. I don't think the speaker said you can always find answers, instead, he said usually.
In my opinion, 'with reason that people could possibly find answers to another question while they are focusing on one question'
Although there are many cases that chances bring discoveries. I am not sure if this is a correct expression. If you're sure about that then stick to it. In my opinion, 'Although there are many cases of serendipity'
I tend to agree that chances cannot contribute alone without intuitive ability of human beings and hard working. contribute to.... 'Strictly speaking, intuitive ability is not the key. It is needed for a individual to be sagacious enough to link together apparently innocuous facts in order to com to a valuable conclusion. In my opinion, 'I tend to agree that chance cannot contribute alone to success without individual's sagacity on certain subjects and hard working.'
In paragraph 4, 'Any theory that attributes this accomplishment to accidents is unfair' I think this is totally irrelevant. No body and no theory would like to attribute this kind of accomplishment to accidents.
