One might wonder aloud why Dan K. is talking about Race to Zero on CBC, considering he is not running the contest.

Dan likes DEF CON and gets called to comment on things. Dan = FoDC. Wonder if the radio show called the organizers for comment?

Yes this was the true intentions of my comment, not anything against Dan, sorry for confusion.
