The whole system of basing power positions within committees on seniority, who you know, the capability to raise big bucks, looking good on camera and having the ability to spout carefully coached and rehearsed 5-10 second sound bites that seem halfway intelligent obviously sucks.

This leads to a bunch of empty suits having enormous power.

IMHO, having to pass a test to prove you know at least something about the job makes sense to me.

Never happen though. All the arrogance and narcissism will get in the way. It's also gonna get a bunch of us killed.

"...It's also gonna get a bunch of us killed..."

Yep.
