You're claiming no one at last years business meeting saw the effects Vox Day's machinations had on nominations earlier that same year? Or saw the direction things were headed? Sad Puppies weren't the first to exploit the weaknesses of the system. They were only the first to be wildly successful at it.

Yes. That is the exact core group I'm talking about. How many people (and how much turnover) do you believe those business meetings actually have? You don't believe there's a core group of "regulars" for several years at a time? Especially when in the frequent North American venue?
And the fact that Worldcon is most commonly a North American-hosted event is pretty undeniable. Even simply increasing the frequency that Worldcon happened outside North America would probably help things get better.
