Public voting was not considered - see my analysis at FQXI- the essay judged as worst by the community was rated as the best of the public with lots of votes, i.e. manipulation. The rating system is not good and will be changed hopefully. However is difficult to rate objectively >150 essays, so i understand the necessity of an initial raw and brutal (counter) selection. In my I have told only about DGT and Rossi in the context of Technology- not science. I have the privilege of the friendship with the MFMP boys and i am collaborating with them- an excellent team which deserves Success. Unfortunately I have no funding for them
