A strong quality label is that twint's twitter account got suspended - evidently Twitter doesn't like that a third party tool scrapes tweets better than they allow to.

Oh, then if you're counting industry PhDs I'm not sure how your argument about Americans getting a premium is that well-founded. The US (like many Western countries, but to an even greater extent) has a very strong NIH syndrome, a
