I do agree with his point, science has suffered for it. If you go to school for 28 years, and are obsessed with a slice of the universe that it takes years to even speak intelligently about, and you don't make a killing, maybe it's best to let you do what you do, and not to put a squeeze on you. Productivity is not valuable. Only specific kinds of productivity are valuable, and busyness is not productivity.
