I wonder if it helps explain in part why the Publish or Perish culture is wrecking science and stalling scientific progress. The stressful environment it tends to create it's not conductive to learning and thinking in depth.
I think that's overcomplicating the issue. Ultimately, good science takes time, and the academic culture doesn't allow for that.
