In other words, you win this game not by trying to imitate actual people who hold a position, but by imitating the stereotype of people that hold that position.
If the judges were random disinterested people, maybe, but the judges are people sympathetic to the stated position of the panel; they're less likely to be fooled by someone parroting a stereotype of themselves. I think that to cryonicists, someone trying to fulfill a stereotype of a cryonicists among a panel of genuine cryonicists would stick out like a sore thumb.
Depends on the position. Remember Poe's Law - there are some positions where it's impossible to distinguish a parody from the real thing.
