Would they be as ticked off if you suggested that university professors be hired on the basis of a statistic like the quotient of number of papers published in refereed journals and number of cites in refereed journals with a suitable multiplier for the count accumulated in journals of the first water - Science, Nature, NEJM and the like, and a hugely bigger multiplier for Nobel awards in any field?
