I think it's fundamentally a question of incentives. A mathematician's career prospects and status depends heavily on being able to prove things that others can't. Why spend extra time helping your 'competitors'? Not saying this is ideal, but it seems to explain many behaviours in the community, and it seems unavoidable given the ever-increasing competition for jobs. |
