I wasn't talking about publishing, I was talking about doing science.

Publishing can be one part of doing science, but it's not the end-and-be-all.

And yes, I have no idea how great corporate research or military research etc are, I just brought them up as examples of research outside of academia that we can look to and perhaps learn something from.

(And I also strongly suspect research at TSMC will be very different from research at Johnson & Johnson and that's very different from how Jane Street does research. So not all corporate research is the same.)

> Because, as an PhD who knows dozens of other PhDs in both academia and industry, and who has never heard of this magic new approach to doing science, it would be quite a surprise.

And why would you expect your PhD friends to hear from that? PhD's are very much in academia, and very much embedded in academia's publish-or-perish.



There are plenty of PhDs doing science outside of academia
