For me, some sound evidence of the outreach activities that have been deemed award-worthy would also be welcomed.
Hear hear!
If TCT emerged from under her aircraft dusty, and smelling of fuel, while teaching a group of aviation minded young people how a pre flight inspection is done, and then missed her lunch, because she stayed to answer questions all afternoon, I would have more patience for other aspects of her presentation.
Though I'm not keen on a "end justifies the means" approach to life, if TCT could show that some embellishment really opened up a more broad opportunity for more effective outreach, which was accomplished, I would feel less need to see her called to account for what are obvious misrepresentations elsewhere.
