Hello Alexander Ohnemus
This is a very complex discussion you have initiated! Some very complicated topics!
I think your first point is regarding how a scholar is remembered. It reminds me of people who like to accumulate a lot of wealth and possessions but I have heard many questions on how this helps you after you die.
The second point is about how h-index does not represent quality. I agree with this point also. I think we have both seen lots of examples of this type of behaviour but it seems a lot of people subscribe to this thought/belief and we are unable to do much to change this.
Do you think there is a specific number on what a person should get for an h-index to be considered to be a good or worthwhile scholar? Or should there be another system or another way of recognising academic achievement?
The h-index should be replaced by a metric of depth, not number of times cited.
