Alan, I will get around to a richer response, but do consider the context for this thread -- an attack on faculty wages & working conditions, which identified faculty with administration and opposed the interests of both to the interests of students, which in turn were reduced to the cost of a consumable object, a college certificate. And in this context, _any_ criticism of _any_ professor or _any_ research becomes suspect. So your researcxh -- or any other critiqued of corporate influence on the university is not being dismissed as such; but I am insisting that separate issues be kep separate.
