There is a subtlety required when dealing with human beings.

We all like to feel that we have access to decision making processes, especially when we are made to feel responsible for allocation of funding.

To vote, one requires knowledge of the issues at stake.

The learning process leading to casting a vote, benefits everyone in the long run.

These matters can be separated from the processes followed in performing science (including astronomy).

Cheers
