Not that much. But I think it’s pretty bad if people are forced to choose between “play the game of exaggerating impact” and “go unfunded”. Even if the game is in fact learnable, it’s a bad use of their time and weakens the barriers to lying in the future.
This is my biggest issue with the grand narrative framing, in that it implies that people can realistically expect to have a lot of impact, and in most cases, this won’t happen even if succcessful, let alone the grants that failed.
