Wholeheartedly agree with your last sentences... maybe with the first one too. I have a love-hate relationship with academics and experts because the academy tends to shut down non-sanctioned exploration.

Indeed, and the more power they accumulate the more hypocrisy they utilize to protect and obfuscate it. Like a minimum wage, I'd bet if there was a maximum wage, we'd see a lot less of this and less corruption of the sciences and academics (and a hole lot of new loop hole corruption trying to work around the maximum). I can dream.
