How can you look honestly at your field and not recognize the contributions that come from all sorts of people, institutions, job categories, lab sizes and types, etc etc.
Obviously it is difficult for me to have a civil conversation with people who pretend not to see that the vast diversity in how we do NIH funded science, including job type/category, is the reason it is so productive.
More than this. The research enterprise is inherently uncertain. Sometimes you will fail. Having your entire livelihood depend on not failing creates a moral hazard.
This is a skeet about stability being essential to innovation.
