It sounds insane, because we're used to a particular way of doing research: of giving and receiving credit, of counting beans, of hiring, recruiting, and promoting. And the machine god came to crush that game. The old game is dead. That reasonably causes incredible amounts of dread for many folks, who understand this as the death of research.
