I agree, and I realized this a bit after leaving my keyboard. The problem is that we don’t have enough people doing this kind of outreach, in my opinion. It might be a good idea to get more people doing pretty good outreach than just have a few doing great outreach.
The other question is how hard it is to find people like me—constant effort for a very low probability outcome could be suboptimal compared to just spending more time on the problem ourselves. I don’t think we’re there yet, but it’s something to consider.
