Should have a "You keep what you kill"- clause in academia. If you destroy somebodys hypothesis- you get to keep the grants they gained from that, deducted from their current grants. Make it viable to go headhunting and make p-hacking and other games + paper spam a risky endavour.

This presumes irreproducible science is always created by poor ethics, which is not the case.

I'm sure you have more than just anecdotes to back this up, right....?

Besides, with research you aren't guaranteed to make discoveries. That's why it's called research and not development.

Can't tell if your comment sarcasm or not. But I'll bite.

Sure thing. It's all fraud and conspiracy. Fundamental science is worthless if it cannot be immediately monetized. All scientist are money-hungry crooks. Let's just stop all research then. Who needs antibiotics, or vaccines, or cancer research, or food safety. Who needs to know about the universe, or about quantum mechanics. It's all just elite stuff... Let's get rid of it.

Government is precisely the place to fund stuff that does not fit into the free market.
