Or what about the computer scientist Lawrence Page? He managed to extract some value from his contributions. This argument of Thiel's is only correct if you regard any scientist who makes money as a non-scientist.

But your example is correct. I get the impression that somehow Thiel is a bit down on the money making potential of research.
