I remember watching a grad student try to code a response time experiment using matlab. She'd been at it for weeks. I showed her how to do what she needed in an hour using psyscript (open source, now defunct) but her supervisor insisted on matlab. pointless.

I agree -- science is not a business. I've done research in both contexts, and the cross-cutting concern is reproducibility of analyses. Standard tools are necessary but far from sufficient. IME business is mediocre at this, and academia is miles worse .

Absolutely. We could decide that basic research is not worth the effort of learning optimal techniques and practices but IMO if we were do so we would lose the most relevant function of science.

Yeah, agreed.
