Regina Dugan is a former head of DARPA as well as ATAP. She has an impressive resume. Why would she do something like this? For a not particularly important patent, LED popup books? It seems bizarre.

Am I the only one wondering why anyone would think a person's resume should be any kind of predictor of good or bad behaviour?

I assume that statement has less to do with good behavior and more to do with doing something that can bite you in the ass when you have so much to lose.
