Scientists are made, not born. They need space to study. If we make them share rooms when they are children, or share houses when they move out, then their potential is squandered.

I had to share a room growing up, so half my time was spent watching TV in the living room. My parents wouldn't let me turn the TV off, as they were watching it or listening to it. Mind-numbing.

I had to share a house at university. My housemates wanted to drink and play games and listen to loud music all day. Also not good.
