The scary thing is that these incompetents are supposedly the ones to look out for the interests of humanity. It would be funny if it weren't so tragic.

Not that I had any illusions about this being a fig leaf in the first place.

Perhaps they were put in that position precisely because of their incompetence, not despite of it.

I wouldn't rule that out. Normally you'd expect a bit more wisdom rather than only smarts on a board. And some of those really shouldn't be there at all (conflicts of interest, lack of experience).
