Why? If, say, a bus driver drives his bus recklessly, or if a doctor performs a crappy procedure in a reckless manner - most people would agree that these workers should face a disciplinary or even legal action for their miscounduct. Why are the symbol manipulating professions different?
I am just posing it as a hypothetical question. I understand that Churchill is being singled out and what's at stake here is not his sloppy writing but censorship - which does require a strong defence. But let's suppose that a university does institute a fairly balanced system of punishments for mental / research workers who willfully publish crap. Why is this wrong?
