The right thing to do here would have been to award the fellowship to the voting winners and then amend your rules to exclude "applicants about whom we have bad vibes" going forward. Retroactively doing so, sure, is your right but

Changes in the gut could be quite profound -- well beyond caloric uptake. It's quite likely that gut bacteria influences mood and other things we commonly attribute solely to the brain. If that's the case who knows the impact gut
