It's not a paradox. The point is that SAGE is very much *not* only a volunteer committee. I hire four undergrads at 19/week to work on SAGE -- they are not volunteers at all -- SAGE is their job, and have hired a grad student full time most of the year too (different students each quarter). Anyway, you could make the same "its a paradox remark" about many many things, e.g., Linux, people who work at food kitchens, many NGO's, etc. Also, what is boring to you is not necessarily boring to everybody.
