And it wasn't like sponsoring scientists wasn't kind of a thing in the 1800's in some cases.
The only difference really is that modern experimentation has reached the point in the sciences involved that you usually can't do it in your basement, so the needed resources have expanded in scope.

I'm 52 years old and still live in the house my father built the year before I was born. I've been constantly repairing it since I was a child. Nobody needs to move on more than I do...

When my interactions with every single gamer I meet on the Internet have the exact same problem, I have to look at the common denominator in every interaction. The one constant between these wildly different people I'm talking to about wildly different games that these different people and I have played, and wildly different situations they and I have been in. The one common element, that obviously, obviously, has to be to blame.
