There's plenty of funding in academia. Come on. It's a huge segment of society, governments spend billions on it.
They don't hire software engineers to write their models because they know they can get published without that and they'd rather hire more students into their department and publish more papers. For academia to claim they can't afford to produce programs that work is absurd and damning - why should anyone believe anything in a scientific paper if this attitude is so widespread? Some people here are arguing it's ridiculous to expect academics to produce work that's correct, even putting assumptions to one side.
All it takes to fix this is multi-disciplinary teams. Of the type found in almost any industry but apparently, not academia. Why is this idea so strongly rejected by academia when it's just common sense everywhere else?
