Należy przeczytać poniższy tekst i odpowiedzieć na pytania.
„ ..... the hero somewhere in the future is asked by a wealthy entrepreneur,
who believes that science has progressed too quickly what he should do to
retard this progress. The hero answers:
- You could set up a foundation, with an annual endowment of thirty million
dollars. Research workers in need of funds could apply for grants, if they
could make a convincing case. Have ten comities each composed of twelve
scientists, appointed to pass on these applications. Take the most active
scientists out of the laboratory and make them members of these
committees. ....First of all, the best scientists would be removed from their
laboratories and kept busy on committees passing on applications for funds.
Secondly the scientific workers in need of funds would concentrate on
problems which were considered promising and were pretty certain to lead to
publishable results. ....By going after the obvious pretty soon science would
dry out. Science would become something like a parlor game. ....There would
be fashions. Those who followed the fashions would get grants. Those who
wouldn’t would not. „
