Hmm
The claim that private companies may not be over ethical is possible. But what is the alternative? If the amusing thought is that academia should lead in ethics then we have a problem.
Also the problem of people being fired if they dont research along the 'employed' lines is still no different. Toe the line or get out is a real problem. The good news from this is the vast money poured into research, and it doesnt need to come from government (taxpayers) pockets.
