Get on with it Dom
Cummings lacks a certain credibility or moral standing in the data science community who are sufficiently versed in “arguing from evidence” to understand that much of the leave campaign was based on lies and fantasies.
Without the techno-babble and “brogrammer” posturing, his offer is perhaps of limited appeal to its expert audience. It could well be that most of the people with the skills, experience, intellectual curiosity and public service ethic that he needs are also those least likely to want to tarnish their own professional reputations or future careers through association with Cummings.
