You might want to re-read my posts a couple of time and think about it a bit harder, if the conclusion you derived from what I wrote is that I want to gatekeep the posters.
No need to be rude. Here, since I’m so simple minded and dumb I’ll try to convey as best as I can to one such as yourself. You’re saying she’s an expert in advocacy (how does one become an expert in that?) and politics… or maybe showmanship?, it doesn’t make her an expert in space programs. We should celebrate those people less, and feature actual scientists and engineers more.
What I’m saying is that would be a narrow band if we just include people who’s job titles are scientists and engineers, because we are assuming other people in similar expertise fields would not know the original tweets context. If that is off base, my deepest apologies.
It makes her an expert in advocacy and politics, not science or engineering.
Obviously advocacy expertise is no less worth than engineering expertise or science expertise, just like arts expertise is no less worth than any of that and ditto for plenty of other kinds of expertise in complex areas.
However, the “salesmanship” kinds of expertise are already the some of most widely celebrated and rewarded by present day society, hence my point.
