Which always has a grant proposal laying out hoped for results in areas being investigated, at least most of the time correct?

Someone looks at it and goes ‘yeah, that might pay off’ or round files it somewhere.

Researchers who never end up finding anything notable also don’t tend to have long careers, correct?

None of that is what I’m talking about, no. I know many researchers who are quite proud of the fact that their research is never going to make money but is super interesting from a scientific perspective.

The crazy amount of skepticism this always draws is simultaneously very funny and very saddening.

That a percentage of total funds is put into stuff like that isn't surprising, to avoid too much hyperfocus on what we know.

What percentage of the overall budget do you think it is?
