Consider also, for a moment, that one of these propositions is pushed as a rock hard political consensus, widely believed common sense and the other derided everywhere as naive idealism or envy/class hatred.
And *still* the latter is a more common belief.

very important to keep this in mind: google scholar might be gone soon! That's a problem, given how central google and google scholar have become to research and teaching
Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared
Google Scholar Is Doomed
Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?
