        @paulg I've attended startup pitch events where the judges were professors, consultants and--wait for it--local elected officials. 😵

        @zamansky There are exceptions. But it's a problem when teaching is a job which liberal arts majors get because nobody else will hire them.

        @cperciva You're partially right but I think you're generalizing a bad experience.

        @paulg Isn't it more that being judged as bad is degrading? Regardless of the competence of the judges.
