Happy New Year, Unfortunately science is not driven by experiments. I rather say that it is driven by politics. However, we could make 2015 the year we just do not listen to politics. The problem as described in the article emanates from our politicians in DC and corresponding places. We allow them to make rules we do not agree to or which are given to miscellaneous government institutions to refine out of very generic political statements. Everybody conform (to get a part of the benefits but the best results are often hidden as they do not fit the generic attitude. It all trickles down to the bureaucrat we get to deal with in person, who's only interest is to fit in with those generics. I am a firm believer in small organizations as they cannot hide a bunch of generic platitudes. Politics only works in large organizations. It exists everywhere but works better the large organization we have.
