Science is not profitable, its application is.
And in a perfect world, wouldn't it be great if science was profitable?
No, that would make it vulnerable to abuse, look at what happened to lawyering, college fees, private health care. Capitalizing it only makes it worse. Science shouldn't be influenced by money. Imagine if it were, and compare it to politics. Do you want scientists to make decisions while funded under young earth creationists or big oil?
