I'm new to steemit so maybe I don't get it, but I just read this post and it does seem like there are strange inconsistencies:

I don't know if anyone from the curie team has seen it, but I'm curious about the choice too. I understand that curie isn't obligated to explain their selection process, but it seems like other people are interested too. Plus it would also demonstrate "the spirit of Curie's transparency".
