So let me hear you deny the state of science is often contaminated,
perverted and raped by the science of the state.

I BELIEVE that's a major topic of discussion here. How the GOVERNMENT
funds COMPUTER SCIENCE making it's 'industrial output' to the end user
SUSPECT.

That's because scientists on the GOVERNMENT DOLE don't really do much in
the way of free inquiry, and I'll re-state, from another thread, why...
aside from the need to keep a roof over your head and not end up the
academic variant of 'the slandering of ioerror', by hostile 'colleagues':
