You need not only a good science writer, but one who either already groks the problem, or can be made to do so with a quick explanation.

Furthermore, they need to have the above qualifications without being capable of doing primary research on the problem (this is the issue with Eliezer - he would certainly be capable of doing it, but his time is better spent elsewhere.)
