I am a professor and have seen both extremes. I am worrying about how to keep high scholarly standards all the time --- also on teaching, and especially when supervising theses.

Wow are you advocating to hire people for teaching and for evaluating separately? Sounds both interesting and a cultural war ground.

The simply is like the husband that "simply" does not know how to clean the kitchen. Those professors never attended a pedagogy course.

I see two extremes: one represented by this professor who IMHO cares too little about students --- still he deserves to keep his job. The other extreme is more dangerous and is about University professors actively accepting and facilitating immature behaviour by students. Where could a sweet spot be drawn along this gradient?

Code that writes code that writes code... my limited experience combining AWK and GAMS gave me impressively powerful feelings about my limited code. This surely belongs to the next level, I'll go for more!

The idea of net positive is flawed, as multiple local net positives from different disruptions (other than cables) might lead to deterioration of global quality thresholds for sensitive issues, e.g. chains of wetlands required for migratory birds. These global connections are most often unwisely accounted.

I only have concerns about the coastal connection point being in an environmentally sensitive area, e.g. a wetland.

"I do think we need a mechanism to ensure that reviews are good and high quality. Especially the reject ones." This is a very important point, IMHO more for proposals than for articles. The latter deserving less time because time is at a premium, although I am aware that this is a most painful truth!

I am also not an expert on the topic, but citing a MDPI paper to argue against a Nobel prize seems also unconvincing.
