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.

Someone needs to add this incident to her Wikipedia page.

Since it is original research it will get thrown out in a minute.

Citing the inevitable tech-press coverage now that the blog-post has hit HN's front page should get around that nicely.
