Also hard disagree. Everyone I know takes papers quite seriously, there's a major push to get more information into the literature (publish null effect estimates!), etc. This feels a lot like the graduate students on the Academia StackExchange who are convinced the moment they present their idea it will get stolen, while every faculty member is like "I have a list of my own ideas that I don't have time to work on as long as my arm."
