I just made it halfway through and stopped in despair at the Chair's confident assertion - to ensure no one else had misunderstood 😳 - that the judgement was only about committees.
It's like a primary maths teacher confusing multiplication and division, or a dentist muddling incisors and canines. Like Mr Bean practising law.
How do these people get into these positions to make such astonishingly basic mistakes - and then seek to correct others who know better with such smug composure? How can they continue to sit in that room, in that chair, without melting in shame?
In any other role, the equivalent level of ignorance and arrogance would throw your position into question.
What hope do we have when we have no resource against such fools besides 10-second's courteous correction? It appalls and frightens me in equal measure. The ill-timed interruptions cutting off the very answer they were interrupting to demand, the petty jabs, the repetition, the failure to listen and engage and adapt... it was like watching a classroom debate.
Sometimes there seems to be an inversely proportionate (and exponential?) relationship between errors permitted and level of responsibility - the higher you are and the more people it impacts... the less significant it's deemed. Which suggests that what characterises people in these positions is a misplaced sense of their own superiority and dangerous complacency - presumably what gets them there in the first place.
