Hmmm... Wrong. A strong leadership can prevent the
politicization of a
project if handled correctly.
I would like to paraphrase certain scientists here and say that if you
have to vote on a thing, it isn't science (or engineering).
And if it's
science (or engineeirng), it does not (ever) need a vote.
Science and engineering are based on two things: truth and
workability
(respectively).
If that maxim can't be followed, the rest of the discussion is moot,
since the project has already died.
It has nothing to do with Science or engineering.
It's a simple case of people having different ideas and we have to work out
which path to follow.
In a volentary project like this, how else do you propose different views
are solved?
You can't forcefully make someone do something unless you are paying them,
thus a majority vote is the only fair way.
