If the field was sane we would not expect breakthrough results or any results all of the time. We would happily say to scientists, thanks for your continued efforts... and allow them the money and time to do real science. But this is not how the crazy Capitalist world works. You have sociopaths which run these institutions always barking orders and demanding results. So the poor employee gives you what you ask, and you say good boy, and give them a treat.
