Abstract
Common sense tells us that it is unreasonable to strive for things which are costly without paying and which are of no use at all. It would not be useful, e.g., to research the exact weight of King Henry VIII. Nor would it make sense to investigate whether the one- pronged fork was really invented by Herr Schnabel1 and not by anybody else. Using research-funds for such purposes would be most unreasonable as everybody might agree.
