TBF the overuse of IF as a metric is far more influential than the Nobel Prize in how research sector works day-to-day. Grant funding, academic promotion, contract renewals are all directly linked to it, even when policies say "it isn't"

True, but the Nobel prize is less common, but not necessarily less of a terrible metric. Pick one person from the 2,000 on a physics paper and give them a sinecure, it's a bit of a popularity contest

True enough. Part of the reason (because, you know me, understanding How? And Why? is what science is). IF keys in on p-values. Non-clinical raw science papers are therefore missed by many.
