I think that is unfair to the science crowd. I consider myself part of them, and I am highly suspicious of corporate interests.
Of course with the commercialization of public institutions and the insane pressure to publish, one can not trust scientific publications as well as before. What is it 60% of life science publications can't be reproduced?
There is a real need for change in system, so we can trust research more. I think the capitalistic thinking has ruined science. One looks at science as some production process which needs to increase yield. Thus one ends up focusing on quantity rather than quality.
I'd rather see a lot fewer publications and stuff of actual quality which can be reproduced than what is going on now.
