Well, sure! I'm not criticising the vision; I'm criticising how far
short of that vision the world we live in currently falls!

You may find it irrational that an institution wants its faculty's
papers openly available only from their IR and nowhere else. People
whose job it is to count beans will disagree. Needless to say, I'm on
your side, but there's no point in pretending the bean-counters don't
exist.
