Other scientists on HN: are his comments about how badly science is being done accurate? If so, why/how did it get this way? Have you had any experience of it? I'm kinda horrified that all the comments so far are about academic careers and no-one's mentioned one of the fascinating parts of the article: that science is being done badly and the task of spotting that and clearing it up is not considered valuable.
