This isn't that rare or as rare as it should be. It's happened to me on at least 4 projects.

You are presuming that they were looking for one. My experience is that their intention is to sex up a proposal
-
I think it's on a spectrum but yes many are merely looking for a superficial add on. Those are the worst offenders!
-
Another related thing some people do is say "I know all about modelling too" and you realise what they mean is they sometimes read papers that have modelling in them. That's fine but not really "knowing modelling"!
-
These are the ones who love excel spreadsheets ...
-
I forgot about that! Some very touchy topics when you start wading into using Matlab and Excel, but you know/can guess my views.
-
The overarching theme is the lack of respect towards modellers/theoreticians. I would never tell somebody who does empirical experiments to do it my way or "maybe we can try this" or "you get to be middle author because you only did the modelling" but only slightly more politely.
-
I actually do not mind if non-modellers want to co-shape the modeling part. That for me is good collaboration, provided they put in the time and effort to make the suggestions informed & are committed to a mutually beneficial collaboration...
-
Definitely. I think what's missing from my above tweet is that I was saying that in the context of the OP [where people are being the opposite of effortful and informed].
