To the contrary. My apologies if I gave that impression. I found the article to be quite interesting. And that’s one nice thing about FR, the wide variety of posts.
My comment was more along financial lines. I hope this was not a federal grant kind of thing. I suppose this outlook comes from my naturally cheapskate nature.
I see the same thing in my field, chemistry and physics. Many dollars and many hours have been spent chasing string theory. Yet there is nothing practical to show from it. So is it worth the investment? I have mentioned this to other science people.
It is not always a popular comment!
