On the other hand, I will say that I agree with you (and Wilson) on the idea that selfish MBA leaders make use of collaborative (STEM) workers all too often. Where I disagree (I think with both) is that while research/science can be a wonderful thing on its own, having a broad basis particularly in highschool/undergrad is more useful to allow the full flowering of knowledge and creativity. Depth first is better for chess and an MBA may help you win the money game... but not necessarily for discovery.
