No, only those that are more interested in "production" than in
quality production.
The user. And might I add this proves my supposition that you don't
in fact read what I write ... you just skim it and decide that you
hate it without considering the issue ...
Though, I would suggest that this might be another place where
incentives might be an idea worth considering. I gotta admit that for
people supposedly interested in quality science there is curious
reluctance to take the steps that might move in that direction.
