Hatoyama cabinet to be full of scientific planners?

This is just kind of weird. From the Daily Yomiuri:

The new administration to be led by Democratic Party of Japan President Yukio Hatoyama likely will be a "science" cabinet, as those who will serve as its pillars all come from science backgrounds. Having a cabinet lineup with so many science university graduates is unprecedented, making Hatoyama's administration, which will begin as early as Wednesday, the first so-called science cabinet in Japan's postwar history.

Does this mean they will be effective rational planners? I wonder if any of them have read F. A. Hayek's "the Errors of Constructivism". Anyway, I suppose no one has to worry because Ozawa is really the one in charge anyway ... wait ... did I just say that?
