To wrap this up, because I want to get back to Mr. Genuis's main arguments, on committees, from page 994 of O'Brien and Bosc, there's a whole paragraph, which says about studies that they are:
...sometimes mandatory, but are usually permissive. A mandatory instruction orders the committee to consider a specific matter or conduct a study in a particular way.
These are all possible.
Mr. Genuis, let's get back on track here.
