I believe you do make one substantial error in this post. It isn’t that academics can’t do it, it’s that they won’t. You see, if you say can’t, you are inherently supposing the incentives can’t be changed, but the structure of these incentives is not fixed as they are now. They can change, and they will change, though likely not in a useful way anytime soon.
I’m a little confused by what you are referring to here so if you are willing to spell it out I would appreciate it but no worries either way. Many very fascinating ideas in your other comment, I’ll try to respond in a day or two.
