Needless to say the effect of the pure research emphasis has not been an objective effect in the narrow sense of the term "objective". Yet within a broadened interpretation of the term "objective" and also within the framework intentionally seeking to be open, honest, and responsible (responsive) to the wider community---such a determination could be made. Such a determination would of necessity be built upon existential personal reports offered within secure contexts where reporters have been offered and have accepted gifts of the freedom to be safely vulnerable in being true to themselves and to others about what their experiences had been within the context of graduate research programs and in light of their experiences within that context. Even without any compulsive emphasis upon statistical manipulation of data, it might well be possible to arrive at a meaningful consensus as to what has been the effect of the often exclusive emphasis upon pure research in PhD programs.
