That feels like saying it's a restaurant owner that brings in money, not the staff. If the professor couldn't do all the work on their own, then it's the team (which includes the RAs) that's bringing in the money. Sure, the professor is the "name" behind the work, but there's a lot people involved.
- jleyank 4y agoWhile the servers might keep the customers, it’s the chef and perhaps the owners that make the restaurant happen. And this is a terrible analogy for grad school as that staff is paid for shit in the states. Are we going to give ta’s $2/hour and expect their students to tip them?

- RHSeeger 4y agoLooks like you're arguing just to argue now. The analogy was making the point that more than just "the person in charge" is responsible for bringing in the money. Nothing more. The point of an analogy isn't to have every detail line up. If I said that the introduction of the automobile to common public use was similar to the introduction of domesticated animals for riding, because it opened up a larger/wider area that people could interact with... saying that a car has wheels but a horse doesn't wouldn't invalidate that comparison.
- rightbyte 4y agoThe restaurant owners usually don't claim they make the foodand serve it.
