The formation of networks of correspondence and the flowering of "invisible colleges" among mathematicians and the experimentalists in the new science. in a sense, was addressing the central problem of informational asymmetry in the late Renaissance patronage system.

There were family connections and alliances, political and theological factions, social graces, and much else besides that might be considered relevant when selecting a client who would be useful in advancing the prestige of a patron. So, there must have been "trade-offs,” whereby more gifted scientists were passed over in favor of the less gifted but more diplomatic, or the socially better-connected.
