Scientists aren’t motivated by grants. Grants are merely the means to an end. No grant, no science.

Most scientists would burn the entire grant system to the ground and cheerfully dance on the smoldering remains wearing safety goggles if there was the slightest possibility of doing it any other way

There are plenty of other ways of doing it, but those making the decisions don’t really have much incentive to change it.

Oh I meant from the perspective of the scientists, rather than the system as a whole. Obviously, we COULD change everything, but that's where the burning comes in
