This partly can be attributed to lack of interest to them by experts naukovedov. At the same time, these terms if they pay enough attention, can make a huge – at least so it seems the "inside" – a huge contribution to the overall efficiency of scientific research these terms a lot, call the three of them. The first – is to create a friendly climate for creative research teams, what you want to call a moral conditioning. The second – less waste of time and energy associated with the evil of bureaucracy. And third, a limit the use of all opportunities for training and selection of scientific personnel, the most capable independent creative work. In such matters, of course, difficult to make quantitative estimates, but based on the "experimental" or, simply, on the basis of some personal observations suggest that there is still scientific groups, where, for example, conditioning may not be moral in a fraction of a percent, but several times more effective research.

I repeat – the terms of high efficiency many, in different cases, their specific value can vary. The above three terms seem the most universal and important for all scientific fields, for a variety of groups, regardless of their departmental subordination.
