These are good points, upvoted. However, I don’t think they undermine the fundamental point: even if this is all true, CEA could publish a list of their known weaknesses and what they plan to do to fix them, and offer prizes for either improved understanding of their weaknesses (e.g. issues they weren’t aware of), or feedback on their plans to fix them. I would guess they would get their money’s worth.
