Inexpert Evaluation Breeds Misguided analyses. Wtaf

The evaluation of research in Silicon Valley is often superficial, focusing more on personal presentation than on the scientific merit behind the work. This shallow assessment by venture capitalists can lead to misguided decisions and funding allocations, as they lack the expertise to deeply understand the complexities of scientific pursuit. Comparatively, if historical figures such as Louis XIV were to oversee modern scientific research, their demand for coherent justification and practical outcomes might prevent the funding of potentially dangerous and unproductive research initiatives. The narrative highlights the inherent risk of placing power in the hands of specialists without accountability, as this can lead to the corruption of intentions and the pursuit of dubious research objectives that lack clear societal benefit.
