You NEED researchers to build a robust autonomous vehicle or speech recognition system. Hell, you know how many electrical and materials scientists they have working on the iPhone?

Physical products actually requires science and research. Designing a responsive landing page does not.

You need people who understand the science but whose primary focus is developing the product, not developing new theory.

Edison and Ford vs Einstein and Faraday.
