I don't get what the cave allegory has to do with false incentives (creating papers for creating papers).

  The idea that those who engage is a "dialectical" fashion of academic style education are more "correct" or "see reality for how it is" compared to others. I am firmly an Epistemology Anarchist - that is I agree with almost everything Paul feyerband ever wrote. I don't believe that knowledge/truth is influenced by the method for which it is found. Real, reproducible truth is found all the time outside of traditional academic or scientific norms/methods. The medium is firmly not the message and Marshall McLuhan is a quack. Basically, when Plato says "the farmer should not rule" I respond with "neither should the philosopher or the so called philosopher king"
