Everyone at the MUN is there to put those three letters on the transcript.

I agree. I mean, I do it for fun and so do others. But I wouldn't have gotten started if I knew that there was no benefit for winning awards and slaving away over research. At this point, the awards are rewards for all the work I've put in and my negotiations with others! I'm happy I'm doing it for myself--and my team.
And, I do agree. It isn't fun listening to people who have bad speaking skills. It works out better if you're smart AND you got speaking skills, ofcourse. The sad truth is that confidence and chrisma convinces people so much more than raw knowledge. The ability to shape people's opinions is just incredible--and much more powerful than knowledge. If you have knowledge and never share it, how do others know you have it? Think of it that way. At conferences, I love to work with people who might be geniuses--who are bad at speaking so that I can represent them and give them the proper credit they deserve--from the committee!
