Most decisions don't require extensive research.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We don't ask research to do what it was never meant to do, and that is to get an idea.
Public decision-making does not lend itself to certitude.
Whilst worthy in themselves, applications shouldn't be the only way to drive basic research.
