Hurdles !
Could not agree more, but maybe not for the reasons stated :-)
IT is applying tech to business not science and should not get a penny of my tax money.
Just to clarify "real" science and fundamental research goes a bit further afield than handholding hipsters on the silicon roundabout.
I know physics, molecular biology, fundamental computer science and all that jazz are far less sexy than a shiny shiny app on an i-thingy or a-thingy... and they actually require substantial effort ( I know this is so last century).
