"In situations where there are far more good ideas than funding, good ideas will be rejected. This is mathematics."
This was not a vague idea, this was a project that was very advanced. Obviously nothing came out of the funded ideas or I would have heard about.
But again. I was told how this grants are given and I am glad I don't waste my time with it anymore. I played Hare and Tortoise too long already in my life. I became successful when I stopped playing it.
