Actually, having worked in a university research lab this is how you would think things would go. But this is NOT reality.
Contrary to popular belief, the primary business of a university is not educating students, it's research. And this is a business. A very very big business.
Reality is you only get funding if your research thesis is appealing to whom ever is giving you funding.
This means "unpopular research" doesn't get funding. There for it doesn't happen.
