Yes, that sounds wonderful but that is very subjective. There are officials all the time that feel the best of the best do not work no matter who is assigned.

. But the optics can matter and if you have more diversity, you can avoid this even being mentioned.

Very doubtful, because much like "beauty", conclusions are based SOLELY on what some people looking WANT TO SEE, and some people have an agenda that supersedes EVERYTHING ELSE (what they actually see, what they actually know, what actual facts tell them, common sense and logic).

Unfortunately, we have become a society where different interest groups insist on pouring all the oil they can muster on the squeakiest of all wheels, regardless of even the most obvious damage excess oil causes. No matter how much "oil" is provided, it will never satisfy the needs of those who live to squeak., or fix what actually may need attention.

Yes, blame the gadfly instead of the boil.
