To be fair he's got a point, all the top scientists I speak to say that they're holding out on game changing discoveries until they get more cash.

[Mr. Brightside]

So we’ve now moved on to “give scientists footballers wages” excellent stuff.

Where do you meet all these top scientists?

I feel a bit sorry for the bottom scientists. What distinguishes a top scientist from a bottom scientist? Is it milk, lemonade, chocolate?

[Bully Wee Villa]

Ha ha. Bottom scientists. Bottoms!

198 people in one room for a year?

shes clearly not thought this through.

Nightmare for the 199th ranked scientist I wonder how they are ranked despite their hugely varying fields?). Just missing out on the big pay day.

That’s just enough money to keep the large hadron collider running for three months

You'd think that the 199th best scientist would be at least vaguely proficient in the use of untraceable poisons, and be able to nobble one of the top 198.

Peak Dumbarton Memories,  right there.

I'm sure 198 highly intelligent people could work it out

She was, but she was also a complete fruitloop.

I don't think this will work. 

Imagine if they're ranked like tennis players are - no one  outside the top 20 is going to do anything special and so it'll be the same people making the discoveries whilst the rest make up the numbers.  

Seems highly inefficient to me. I'd buy the footballer.

Indeed 

[Sherrif John Bunnell]

To move up the rankings, do the scientists have to carry out a few bullshit friendly experiments away from home?

"Well Clive, the beaker exploded in my face and the lab burned down, but we learnt a lot from this experiment and a few of the young test tubes got a run out. The real test is when the Nobel qualifiers begin"

She hasn't aged well though.

I'd imagine there'll be an FB campaign for Dr Wolfgang Schnell out of Billy the Fish to be paid Bill Gates money in the next wee while.

I’m sure that I’ve heard people talk about “the four most experts in their field”.

Unfortunately I’ve no idea where this field is, nor where the next 194 ranked experts would be found.
