I work in an R&D center in the U.S. for a European company. The article you linked summarizes the European attitude towards research. They do think American researchers are "cowboys" for real time data releases. Nothing gets released without lots of vetting and in depth analysis. Lay people are incapable of professional interpretations, therefore raw data must be closely guarded. Only select data that is in 100% agreement with the experts is permitted to be shown outside the group of official researchers. That's why our U.S. R&D team is 10 times more productive than our European counterparts, even though there is only 1/10 of us here. And they hate it because we will launch a new product without years of study to fully understand it. Needless to say, we are responsible for 50% of the company's global profits becasue of our "cowboy" attitude.
The real story of Huygens are the results of the chemical composition analysis - but where's that data?
I know what you mean.
I work in a nuclear power services division of a British company. We pound out results while they "study" things. Parliment wanted to sell off the US part of the company as the first step towards privatization, but once they studied the books, they realized that the US groups were the only ones that were profitable.
So I still work for the Queen.
