I agree -- we don't know exactly what she did, other than being the right person in the right place at the right time.
But some very heavy hitters trust her. That's huge. Her background may have gotten her the meetings with the heavy hitters, but the heavy hitters aren't going to trust you just because of your background. They demand results. And whatever results that were demanded of her, she provided, be it vision, hard science, or just common sense, decorum and enthusiasm. If she wasn't the one, she would have been kicked to the curb a long time ago. Those people don't suffer fools.
My main questions arise just from the fact that Kissinger is on her board and that Stanford can be a weird (government spook science) place.
