RB You swayed a fairly broad brush with your opinion-statement about your "experienc" with government scientists RB. Could it be your experience is limited, versus broad-based:)? While it may be true for some, maybe even most government paid scientists (btw, a lot of private and university research is also funded by government). However, IMO,there has been much unique and cutting-edge science accomplished by government scientists who often stay at work far beyond what would be a maximum financial benefit period (many even remain fopcused on their research as emeritus scientists, and and not paid, because their passion for science). Could anyone logically classify government scientists, like those in NASA, and those unearthing ocean secrets, (science that has little current commercial value, so private scientists mostly don't do it), as second rate?
