For a long time, creative (and destructive!) Innovation has been the work of numerous teams, only certain gadgets come under the "creative genius" of the liberal myth.
Those who have done long studies to specialize excessively are the example of science without conscience, and leave power to the ignorant who hold it.
Science is only a tool at the service of dominance and if the ignorant people of whom you speak despise science, they know all the profit which they can draw from it and the manner of doing it, as superior agents of the production of abstract value.
Everyone therefore fulfills their role, the abused scientist and the dominant briber.
