That's not "UBI" though. That's some funding mechanism that allows for more broad fishing without having to call every shot in advance, and penalizing people who then don't find what they were hoping to find.
Though at this point, which is easier between "societal UBI" and "changing how science is funded" is anybody's guess. Nominally, it ought to be the latter, but it may actually be more entrenched....
