My agenda is my own. Who's agenda do you have?
In any case, this usenet group has some of the most responsive and
informed users I've seen in a long time -- in many ways its a throwback
to the days before the likes of AOL and Google existed.
So its little wonder top posting KOOK! made you a lot of fans here.
Maybe you should stick to web forums and the like, and leave us alone.
Unless you'd like to contribute something worth while. In that case
please do.

Z,
Save the advice for someone that wants to hear it.

It might be something you're actually capable of understanding.

Not any more. They seem to have caught a stupid virus at MIT.

There seems to be a growing trend where prominent universities publish
sensational-but-misleading research results. Naturally there is a
correlation between the sensation generated and research funding
received. Institutions engaging in this practice might be taking away
research dollars the would have been better allocated elsewhere. And
the media, especially in the age of the WWW, has no incentive to stop
publishing this stuff.
I would be surprised if more than a few US Senators could draw upon
their own insight and intuition to determine the relative merit
between competing projects. I think there should be an impartial
organization that provides brutally objective assessments of these
research results, in plain English, so that our public funds are not
abused.
I guess NSF, NIH, DARPA, etc. have scientists on staff who are
suppposed to do that, but from what I see...ahem.
But in defense of these same organizations, there also seems to be
gradual movement away from academica-only funding. NASA/CAFE has not
been bashful at all in asking for a flying car, from whomever can
provide it. DARPA's ATP states that they will only fund "killer
applications". I think NSF could do a bit more in this regard.
