Could it be something like the overall funding for an institution is not relevant to crowdsourcing one research project? Or maybe that no matter what you think about overall budget, that has nothing to do with trying to get millions of sensors in place? Or maybe that regardless of government funding, citizen participation in science is exciting and cool?

Edit: or maybe it’s just a throwaway comment trying to stir outrage, rather than having any relevance to continuing a discussion
