Curiously enough, if society truly valued the well rounded, "enlightened" education that is supposed to be needed to truly do good work in this field (and most others), perhaps philosophy would have become the buzzword that everyone wanted to tag on their field of study, and science would be demoted to a domain only for "narrow-minded" individuals A interesting possibility at least.
