On the other hand it's really sad to see that (imho) top scientists with the right attitude (getting things done, open access to data and methods and a great vision for the future) don't get funded. And the reason seems to be something completely different. Arg. @Egon: Happens, but in the long run this one won't matter at all. I guess they just did this to make us laugh.
