Some great minds of our time have expressed their detailed opinion on these
issues, see for example:

       http://www-db.stanford.edu/~ullman/pub/focs00.html

And the " 30 computer scientists" are indeed very big names in
the theoretical computer science world.

Nevertheless, I agree that it would be nice to see a website federating
the opinions of academia in a more visible way
