Thanks, I quickly googled where it came from and looked no further. Some of academia is important, and I did try to do important things while I was there. That was the main thing I was fighting over, the permission to do important things. Often it would take me far longer to get the permission than to do the thing. I did find that the bulk of the people preferred to squabble and the bulk of the research doesn’t work, and the bulk of the research that does work buried. And since so much work is buried a lot of research is simply rediscovering what already should have been known. I think the selection criteria bias on what we know from the fruits of research gives a false sense of what it is like to be a researcher.
