It's not an accident. It is exactly what tptacek described. Every other smarter/better representative wanted, and got committees which pay them more. And that forced these losers to end up on the science committee.
No accident, but also no "axe grinding" conspiracy. Just simply money.

- fghh45sdfhr3 14y agoI don't. I don't give a damn about karma. This is like my 3rd HN account. Not that I had any reason to create new accounts, besides logged out for some reason and didn't remember credentials.
