Why are scientists conferred such vurtue? The politicians have to deal with all the affected parties, Plover and sturgeon dont vote.

This is one issue, which should fall into the realm of public debate, but it's not the focal point of the article.
The article suggests that intellectually dishonest practices are compromising the information published by Fish and Wildlife. If that information is indeed compromised, then real public debate can never even occur. Which seems to be the whole point.
I couldn't care less about plover, but I am outraged that the scientific research paid for by my tax dollars has been corrupted to favor political ends that I didn't vote for.
