There is no going around it. She was probably placed on the board to move Dropbox into government storage. Whatever your views might be, This was a smart move by Dropbox, but for her government ties, but also for her intelligence. If you think she is dumb, or stupid, then I call you ignorant.

You're attacking a straw man. I haven't seen anyone claiming anything of the sort.

Literally nobody in this thread called her dumb, so this is a classic red herring. Everyone is concerned about her ethics, not her cognitive capacity.
