I am utterly unpersuaded that there is any sense in which a “turpentine effect,” if it even exists, is a bad thing in regard to any scientific field. eg, building LIGO is as much a scientific achievement as any analysis of its results

Building a bureaucracy otoh is very much *not* doing science. it may or may not be valuable, but it’s nothing to do with turpentine

That turpentine article is brilliant. I see the dance in my own work, between getting sucked into making elegant tools to actually producing amazing product. Thanks for that. I missed it the first time around.
