"Science has become a seldom-read journal approaching throw-away status. Publishing in Science will often relegate your research article to immediate obscurity..."

This is total nonsense. I'm not going to take the time to debunk what you are saying here. Anybody reading this who is unaware of the status of the journal Science may I recommend you simply do a google on "prestigious journal Science" (use the quotes.) There are over 25,000 matches. Boy, some folks think you can just spout anything at all and it will be believed by the ignorant. What you wrote is a little like saying "well, people used to think diamonds were kinda cool, but now most folks just throw 'em away. Ya got any you'd like to get rid of??"

How quaint! Your naivete is showing! I've published hundreds of scientific articles and have been a scientist for over 40 years. If you think Science is still considered a major journal then you are one of the most gullible people on the planet.

Is this the same Donald Kennedy who lost his job as president of Stanford University because of a scandal over missuse and improper oversight of federal grant money? It is ironic that he now criticizes discipline at federal agencies.

I agree with an earlier comment that deductive science is doomed to deadend. We must find a way to get the government out of science.
