We recognize mozart and copy him, and innovate on top of him like EMI and Emily did or could. I believe our culture lives in a bit of paranoia about accepting others programs, and that's where we fail. We also think that government research should not compete with commercial interests--at least when research is being done by a nonprofit. Has anyone done research on improving programs? I know of some where you try to find bugs in programs. What about actually detecting and replacing or improving algorithms?
