Do you know many employed academic scientists? Why don't you ask them if they would be willing to accept a cap on their salary, to be excluded from the most prestigious and well-paying institutions, and to do less research than they otherwise would, for a period of ten years, because they will be participating in an experiment which, if it was designed and executed well, might result in findings that might help improve research funding. Perhaps very few actually practicing scientists are "true scientists".
