[D] Can we stop glazing big labs and universities?

I routinely see posts describing a paper with 15+ authors, the middlemost one being a student intern at Google, described in posts as "Google invents revolutionary new architecture. " Same goes for papers where some subset of the authors are at Stanford or MIT, even non-leads. Large research orgs aren't monoliths. There are good and weak researchers everywhere, even Stanford. Believe it or not, a postdoc at a non-elite university might indeed be a stronger and influential researcher than a first-year graduate student at Stanford. It's a good idea to judge research on its own merit.
