This quotation illustrates a way in which science is frequently at odds with politics. Our politicians realize the importance of scientific research to our standard of living, economy, and quality of life. So they want to support research and development programs. However, budgeting and planning for these in terms of expected or desired results is virtually impossible. So scientific research, especially basic research is not susceptible to the usual planning and monitoring that is so common and effective in construction projects or other applications of science and technology. It is hard to predict when and which scientists will have the next critical idea. It is very difficult to hold scientists or administrators accountable for scientific research results because of this factor. See {624876}.

However his racial ideology could not possibly allow that Negroes could be as accomplished as some of them was. His “creative” explanation given here is that all accomplished Blacks must have had white blood, because only white blood could produce such genius. Note also the emphasis that he places on the historical inability of Negroes to form a nation. McDougall knew little about history as there were many Negro nations created from ancient Biblical times throughs the 19th century. Shaka who not only built a Zulu nation but turned it into an expansionist empire contesting England in the Anglo Zulu Wars of the late 19th century as both entires fought to see which would colonize and dominate much of the South of Africa,
