Yeah, but they think ignorance is a bad thing.

Interesting to see a moral quality attached to simple lack of knowledge. How can an entity that DRIVES SCIENCE be a bad thing?

Ignorance doesn't drive science. People having the desire to remove ignorance drive science.

I don't know why you find it interesting. For example, the Buddha preached that ignorance is the ultimate evil. Though I admit Christianity has sometimes been equivocal about whether ignorance is a bad thing.

Disease drives medical research. Hunger drives food production.
