Well, for starters, I wish I’d been allowed to write a PhD thesis consisting of distillation instead of original research. As far as I know this was never an option and I’m annoyed about that.
Many masters degrees have thesis and non-thesis tracks. What if PhD programs had a track for searchers (equivalent to currently existing PhDs) and separate tracks for replicators and distillers? They could even have different (by still positive) stereotypical virtues (like creativity, rigor, and clarity, respectively).
