Couldn't agree more. While there have been people with technical expertise in a variety of committees - they never actually have been listened to by those who finally made the decisions. At least I cannot remember a single case where a decision would have been made based on technical expertise. Current decision makers in this arena seem to be mostly a horde of buzzword throwers in suits and ties, easily impressed by glossy pamphlets and big names, frightened to death that somebody will some day unmask their technical incompetence in public and point out that this emperor not only has no clothes on, but also a tiny willy. But they know a lot about fictive and non-fictive business cases I suppose.
