yeah.. point me to a business where the data model is more important than the bottom line...

The data model is what drives the bottom line.

Why is Goldman Sachs so profitable? They have a good data model and have spent 20+ years refining and applying it.

unless there's a union

Yes but I mean, they are so inhuman. My wife was once refused migraine medication because the dokter made some mistake on receipt, they could see her in pain in the car. But computer says no.

Sure, they'll be in trouble perhaps when going against the computer, but then if no one can go against the computer, why bother with humans?

popular means whatever Hollywood decided to like

maybe learning to draw and sketch on paper is a better use of time than using this

on the other hand, putting this server together surely was a fun activity, like sketching ideas on paper might be (depending on the idea?)

Mathematics did invent game theory, so in that way it simply takes more math to do math which isn't good

Maybe the way forward is to break the impact factor game. Everybody in a field get together and publish a paper: literally every topologist could put their name on the paper “Generally we all agree that Topology is an interesting topic.”

Everybody in the field cite that paper going forward, giving it a massive impact factor, making impact factor useless. Do this occasionally, randomly, do it in niche sub fields, everybody who goes to a conference put their name on the paper “we had a nice time at <conference> this year.”

I mean, it is something everybody hates, right? There’s no point in preserving it.

True!
