> A professor writing grants and attending conferences to spread their work is really just marketing
Right, but if a professor hired marketing professionals to handle those things for him I'd say that it is evil. And if science devolved into every professor hiring teams of marketing professionals in order to compete for grants I'd say that science would be much worse off than today. If you think that sounds ridiculous, why do you think that the scenario is totally fine in other parts of society?
