>incentives, incentives, incentives. Exactly. The people at the John Hopkins Camel-Winston Center for Respiratory Research know that Camel and Winston are gonna stop cutting the checks if they don't get something they can trot out to support them when they get hauled in front of congress even if that's only a minority of the work output they funded. Even if nobody means to do evil the evil will be done just as a result of people factoring that in subconsciously and the pressure that applies systemically. Where is really gets spicy is when you have dueling funding sources. Where I went to school you had the environmental compliance industry funding the public policy research to say that nobody should be allowed to install a fencepost without paying their way through some hoops while the Kochs (through some indirection) were funding different research in the same department to say no akshually that compliance stuff is making us all poorer.

Amazing. How was that solved in practice?
