Trying to access the documents ... they are not public domain, open licensed, nor indexed. And scientific papers should all be available to the public especially when funded with public money so should the data. Privatizing public funded work is theft of the people.

I do not trust any kind of expert or "wise people" that want me to trust them without having access to their so called wisdom.

I do not hear the "necessity is evil but we have to live with it". If people are not willing to prove their worth to the community and being scrutinized they should gracefully resign and admit they are not fit for the mission. This coward attitude is disgusting from people having a corporation that protect the security of their job based on ethic.

And last but not least, they should not spend money of others resulting in the slavery of public debts if they cannot give tokens that -at least- they did their bests in terms of means to achieve their goals.

People with powers should accept to be liable for their actions : it is called responsibility.

Great, so now they've all resigned and we're back to the start with no idea how to solve traffic congestion in a city with a bridge.

Best ask StackOverflow.

You have a long day ahead of you if you want to rant about non-open licensed academic papers
