And if it didn't require 12 hours a week (or some similarly horrible figure) writing grant proposals instead of doing actual research


There's really no way around the need for written grant proposals, so the solution seems like "research teams should allocate a decent wage for a good grantwriter". Surely there are talented technical writers out there who would happily join with these noble causes, if only the jobs were there (and financially viable for the writer).


Especially for sellers with thousands of sales. They would get no benefit from scamming you even if they could because bad feedback = lots of lost sales.


Fun fact: People care more about hurting paedophiles than they do about protecting children. It's why communities rally around protesting against sex offender treatment centres or cheer about prison rape like more sexual abuse somehow won't make offenders more deviant.


More precisely, people care most about signalling to others that they want to hurt pedophiles. People’s next highest priority is probably protecting children, and actually hurting pedophiles is lowest.
