Agreed. The article also said that having outsiders on the panel would just be an incentive to write easy to understand research proposals, and I was reminded of the idea that you need to understand something really well to be able to explain it clearly. If a physicist cannot explain their research proposal to an engineer or physicist, perhaps they need to go off and think about it some more.
