Just one extra comment: replace monetary rewards by a reputation system. Much better for science. :)

I was thinking this while I was reading the article. I wonder what this implies about financial rewards in general. I mean, if giving money to scientists per paper is bad, and appreciating their work without paying them is good, that's tantamount to communism or something! haha! ... I guess steemit tries to equate appreciation with monetary reward using the concept of the vote. .... Anyways, long discussion.
