that's a bit unfair. yes, it does require that in some semblance, but that's not necessarily the one and only lever we have. most of us realistically expect, i hope, that we'd need a variety of political maneuvers to move our democracy toward a more representative and less insular direction.
science is no different--it took many small steps to get into this situation, and will take many small steps to get out, any one of which will seem wholly incapable on its own.
