In a similar vein, I knew a prof who researched "Methods of getting out of having to do research" (I used quotes but this is really a paraphrase.)
I don't find anything wrong with such researchers. They are playing a game and earning a living.
My question is: How does such seemingly-ridiculous research get approved for funding? Can we not spend that money on greater good?
