I'm joking a bit with the style and my limited experience leads me to agree with the OP.
The middle paragraph includes my sincere response that a system where discovery is rewarded, failure forgiven, and dishonesty punished is ideally suited to the mission of science.
So I was left wondering if the OP would expand on what their thoughts were about the interesting consequences.
In your message I observe, very careful criticism, uncalled praise, admission and defense of a system that excludes most criticism...
