If only there were people out there . . . call them "scholars" . . . who performed some sort of systematic study . . . call it "research" . . . into these phenomena. We could house them in places where they could study together . . . call them "universities" . . . and those "scholars" would then write about their "research" and release for scrutiny among their peers and their public.

And if only there was public money available to help these "scholars" perform "research" . . . call them "grants" . . .

Well, you get the sarcastic drift.
