It sounds like you understand these arguments (at least partially), so
let's not go over the same points needlessly, but at the same time I
think it bears repeating that you are seeing various cultural biases
at work (academic vs FLOSS), that the two communities are similar in
some ways, but very different in others

Serge, I just want to add:

I fully know that people have brilliant ideas and solutions outside of academia. Most likely moreso! The scheme I outlined is not reality. It is the normative basis for funding and division of labour as viewed by government and professors. And those do provide our funding and degrees. That is all I wanted to say with that. In no way did I mean to claim academia has any monopoly of innovation. But it structrually pretends it does, and we have to live in that environment.

Sorry again,

Andreas
