Powerful stuff. I have seen this perversion of science in professional meetings I have attended as an engineer. I used to think that scientists and engineers would be able to make decisions without being influenced by money or politics. I learned very early that I was wrong. In my case I learned that people would push "standards" that supported their personal interests. Engineers and scientists aren't any better than anyone else in this regard.
