Summary
A significant amount of money is spent on ambitious but unpractical scientific experiments, while more simple and practical experiments are underfunded. Therefore, funding for the ambitious projects should be decreased, and funding for other projects should be increased.
Notable Assumptions
The argument moves from a claim about the relative practicality of two types of projects, to a claim that funding should prioritize the more practical of the two. It doesn’t, however, explain why this is the case - why the smaller scale but more practical projects ought to be prioritized. To justify this, we need some principle that fills this gap, and tells us why the more practical projects deserve more funding and the less practical projects deserve less funding.
