Regarding “Science is being downsized” by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, in which she deplores the excess time wasted on administrative tasks and surveys (11 December 2021, p 26).
We need to realise that many eureka moments in science have occurred as the result of an imaginative mind having the time to freely mull over a puzzle and all its possible answers, without the encumbrance of having to quantify every professional experience, consideration and encounter in terms of a zero-to-10 rating.
