That's typically how scientists get interested in a problem to begin with. An issue that affects a large scale that may or may not involve or affect themselves personally. Meat correctly points out that the resolve of the scientist or the potential effect a science advancement has on a larger scale problem gets stymied when administrators -- those that have the power to implement the advancement-- don't have a direct benefit of that implementation.
And when I mention administrator, that could mean a department head, a dean, a politician, or someone peer reviewing your research. I've personally had my research rejected from publication in a certain journal because I didn't cite enough of his papers. I didn't need to, but that doesn't matter, the benefit to that that person wasn't there.
