This is standard-faire, weaponized pedantry. Yes, R&D is inefficient, but all of us know this is not the point (unless of course, the research is focused on improving efficiency). Once a process and result is identified, it’s performance requirements and characteristics can be identified, measured, and standardized. This where industrial engineering comes in. Given that everything mentioned in this report is based upon simple measurements as a result of the R&D and this single identified process, we should file this under “pessimistic sensationalism.”
