The NCI scientific programme leaders meet regularly to ensure that we are not ignoring highly original proposals and that we are not creating an unbalanced grant portfolio.
People are not the only interesting organism on earth. From the point of view of scientific or commercial value, there are lots of interesting organisms.
It rolls off my back. Ridicule doesn't mean anything - even from people you're supposed to wear knee pads around, like the scientific community.
As to Bell's talking telegraph, it only creates interest in scientific circles... its commercial values will be limited.
Many people find bald, unvarnished truths so disturbing, they prefer to ram their heads in the sand and start dreaming at the first sign of scientific reality.
