This rings true to me. One of the reasons why the Soviet Union was so strong in math and physics is that super-talented people in those areas didn't have nearly as many outside options to apply their talents as did comparably talented people in the United States.

Public debate in economics is important! Following a suggestion by Handbook of Labor Economics editors Dustmann & Lemieux, Jose Azar & I added a nuanced discussion of the significance of labor market concentration in our understanding of market power and welfare. #EconSky
In economics, editors, referees, and authors often behave as if a published paper should reflect some kind of authoritative consensus.
As a result, valuable debate happens in secret, and the resulting paper is an opaque compromise with anonymous co-authors called referees.
