It is important to understand the thought process of the Academics and the Government Biologists.
Government Biologists are brought up by Academics and immersed within/among the issues, biases, philosophies, prejudices, mentalities, etc.
Conversely, Academics are dependent on the Government Biologists for funding and for the legislative support required for their priorities.
It's a Symbiotic relationship between/among like-minded people. They are philosophically, institutionally, and economically joined at the hip.
I'm not saying its bad, I'm just saying one has to recognize the inseparable association and bonds among/within the group. It is important to understand where people are coming from, to understand their true motivation? These guys are on the same page. They speak the same language. Not much of a distinction there.
