I don’t endorse the tonality of the comment, it’s rambling and sort of bitter (I’ve been guilty of worse on “the Internet”). With that said it’s at least possible that the commenter is alluding to a trend in physics research that is so concerning to practicing physicists and mathematicians that books called things like “The Trouble with Physics” and “Not Even Wrong” are being written and published. I’m little better than a layman as concerns physics, but I’ve been around the block with organizational dysfunction amongst a group of super smart people, and I don’t find it at all implausible that String Theory is the “Docker-First” of physics funding.
