With all due respect, you can get published even if no one pays for your
research, as long as you are willing to pay for it yourself.

You make an excellent point, James: "Face it: you can't get published if nobody
cares about the results of your studies, and you can't muster the energy to properly
address a scientific question if you don't care about the answer. The result is that
there is emotional weight behind all scientific research and all interpretations of
results." You also can't get published if no one will fund your research, so you
have to MAKE somebody care about what you want to study, whether it's a cute,
anthropomorphic mammal or a microscopic water flea. Someone has to decide it is
important enough to study, and that IS, you are correct, an emotional response. A human
value.
