I too have read RN Zare's article. It is clear to me that the scientific establishment is trying very hard to keep the status quo. I prefer not to discuss the lack of loyalty and ehtics of such a mentality. Our taxes pay for their training and our emerging scientists will have to compete with them in a tight job market, where, as supply and demand will dictate, wages are driven down. But, after all is said one has to come up with solutions.
Scientists are trouble shooters and problem solvers.
