We 'marketed' science as due to our socioeconomic dogmas vaguely based on completely misunderstood caricatured Darwin ion theory there can be no alternative. We turn science into a quantative metrics game, and by golly, act all surprised that scientists do game the system?
How useful do you think Google Search would be if they just stopped after Pagerank v0.1 and called it a day, then let all the websites 'vote with their links'?
