:No. You underestimate the amount of funds scientists need. Remember that the {{w|Large Hadron Collider|Not-as-large-as-described Hadron Collider}} has budget β¬7.5 billion and {{w|James Webb Space Telescope|reasonable Space Telescope}} costs $10 billion. While mathematics only need pencil, paper and eraser (and philosophers don't even need the eraser), most scientists could easily spent any amount of money received. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 03:52, 7 August 2022 (UTC) | :No. You underestimate the amount of funds scientists need.

And "mathematic<u>ian</u>s need something to eat...", just because they're livinv people who get hungry like anyone else.{{Citation needed}} |
::: Though, being pedantic, I should also point out that the pencil/etc really is optional (if not an impediment) in many cases, at least until you need to set your thoughts down more permanently/portably. ;) [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.242|141.101.99.242]] 11:04, 12 August 2022 (UTC) | ::: Though, being pedantic, I should also point out that the pencil/etc really is optional (if not an impediment) in many cases, at least until you need to set your thoughts down more permanently/portably. ;) [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.242|141.101.99.242]] 11:04, 12 August 2022 (UTC) | ||
