      I disagree. Pursuit of knowledge is a goal in itself and sharing that knowledge so that others may build on it is a good thing.

        It would even be better if those who finance that basis would also benefit of of it. I did not meant to say we shouldn’t fund this research but that we should do more to also directly benefit from it.
