Brief, little story. mk and I are colleagues at a research institution. About a year ago, we submitted a grant together, the details of which are unimportant, but in our opinion, the minimal cost of the research could have had some really high impact findings. Anyway, when we got the review back one of the reviewers actually criticized us for not proposing to use enough cutting edge technology! It was one of those things that literally made me laugh out loud as I read it.
