Why so many inflexible rules and regulations? What is wrong with
making the best decision on a case by case basis? In some case, the
best course of action can be purchasing research done in the private
sector. In others, organizing research done by public employees. In
others, leaving everything to the dynamics of the marketplace. In
others, something else. There is no one-size.fits-all magic bullet,
one just has to roll his sleeves up and make things work.
