It seems to me that the technical people who get invited to public debates are simply not competent or knowledgable enough. We definitely need to step up!

But a part of me wonders if this may be by design from the debate moderators - if a technical expert opens up by saying "we have a cryptographically secured solution that is backed by experts and privacy advocates alike", what's the next 45 minutes of the TV show going to be about?
