Academic Research Isn't Making Any Money
In some ways, I think if all of these academic spinoffs, all these commercialized ideas never actually make anybody any money, then that's worse than the making money. That being said, it often takes a lot of imagination and vision to see how a basic research finding after tweaks and twists and changes and improvements is something that people are willing to pay a lot of money for because it does a lot of good. And so you could imagine real academic malfeasance, fabricating data, intentionally misinterpreting results that would be more likely to happen if you have a billion dollar company on the line rather than just trying to get your next paper published in an academic journal.
