The asymmetry between theory and scale has been shrinking on most fronts when it comes to the government. The government certainly has brilliant scientists on its payroll and in the past has been able to shove resources at problems that no other entity has, but these are no longer the days of the Manhattan Project and this isn't the atom bomb.
