This paper is surprisingly accessibly written given the complexities involved and depth of expertise of the author, DJB, who has made great contributions to many fields.

Unfortunately nearly all decision making processes are vulnerable to this kind of attack: processes are never clear, selection criteria always up for debate, and generally people pick a special option to present preferentially.

This generally just leads to suboptimal decision making - we're lucky to have DJB's focus here to improve this one.
