there's no right or wrong here (at least I don't think that there is), I comfortable with the conclusion that we have different sensibilities and tolerance for the trial and error platform.  |
The policymakers have adopted a policy of hiring people whose competency seems underwhelming. Compare that to our military, which really works on finding and training competent soldiers.
