Well the truth is Cardano has lots of engineers, and I have work with lots of academics that are top engineers. And computer science academics do protocols, that is their sole purpose. So I don't know why not include them. I think Cardano approach is a standard setter compared to a lot of crappy coins. Don't know why Dan is picking on Charles, probably sees a good competitor, or a threat.
