Aside from the obvious fact that nations can spend money on multiple objectives at the same time, the real un-intelligence comes from suggesting that the people of the country actively involved in various civil programs are somehow incapable of taking care of their problems. Are you insinuating that they are perhaps inferior and need rescuing? Because India has seen how that goes very personally before.

Yet.

Can confirm. It is pretty abhorrent how widespread this practice is in India.

IMO, the practice ought to be made unlawful. Medicine is a life-critical sector. As such regulations need to be the tightest around it.

For good reason too.

> Overpromising and underdelivering is not fraud.

It is. That's like saying selling a Merc with a Suzuki Swift engine inside is not fraud.

Yep. It is. Fraud across the spectrum.

That is just whataboutism. "What about this field?" "What about that cos?"

All of it is fraud. Regardless. Promising results with the intention of not sticking to it is fraud.

Maybe. But profitability does not imply "pristine".

Yes, the industry does not care about Rubik's cube and Go. The industry, however, would not exist in the first place if not preceded by researchers on equivalent endevours that would make zero monetary sense on first look. Markets are created by those that can envision one with the given technology. No matter how incredulous the technology might look like.
