Dear, Unrespectfully, I would compare today's scholarly publication to a sad story, or a funny one that has lost most of its fun. So I consider that the comparison with a Monty Python movie can be accepted.
For me, by nature, knowledge must be free. Most of the time, not to say always, it is paid by the citizens, directly through taxes or inderectly through tax reductions for private investors. And with today's system the published kowledge is still most of the time nor freely accessible to anyone nor freely redistributable nor freely redoable (data are not free for some kind of "rescience" test). Until the publication of schaloarly works is done on internet, freely and gratis and any kind of work even published anywhere can be used for the valuation process (through some kind of evaluation process that may still be to discover) I consider the process broken and in urgent need of attention.
