Weird to assume IEEE or any other large enough organization that has people being paid money to write posts on the internet (i.e. PR dept) is somehow different from "corn belt politicians" and won't be pushing the same agenda. The main point of doublethink is that people that are not good at it, are not allowed to speak publicly anyway, so it's kinda besides the point if some random engineer has problems evaluating how come that worse concrete is better concrete.
