The problem is they cannot be duplicated, they are gone and were not
duplicated. We have only the work product they generated after massaging
the
original data. My wife is a university grant writer, I think they would be
so
happy to hear that they can throw away all the data gathered from those
funded studies that they have always been required to keep. There is a
warehouse full of the stuff, still kept even though it has been
transferred to
microfilm and later digital formats.

I don't think the average person, which the DC Whorehouse, etc. counts

understands what happens to all that paper.
They collect data, they correlate data, they digest data, they spit out
data
in the form of papers for peer review and scientific journals. The data
sits around and then the data is trashed. That specific project is over.
They have the results. It is done.
No big conspiracy. Just basic, ordinary everyday housekeeping. The idea
that someone might have thought 30 years ago that not keeping a
collection
of references, that can be duplicated if needed, would cause such a stink
is
ludicrous.
