I see your point, but I think you're underestimating the crowd statistics there. Studying why jellyfish glow could make an excellent pitch -- even I can imagine donating to that! And that's even though my pet hobby is geology, which I presume most would count among the more boring disciplines. Of course, I'd gladly donate there, given a credible pitch/project proposal/person. EDIT: in fact, come to think of it, I'd be more inclined to fund a project where the person show genuine passion and curiosity about how a mundane and seemingly irrelevant thing works. Interesting. Food for thought.
