I keep getting more and more convinced that it's just comes back down
to the usual old problem of glacial bureaucratic-like nature of
academia. I truly believe the academic world is beginning to sink under
the weight of its own outdated traditions. This is just one symptom of
that, just like all the ways the MPAA/RIAA struggled against the
societal changes they wanted to pretend weren't really occurring.
