Let me ask you this. Putting partisanship aside for the moment, if there were a particular job to do, I would expect someone to at least meet a certain bottom-line standard, regardless of the politics of the situation. It seems to me that this report is saying that you establish a minimum pass mark—as you would in any given venue—and if you didn't pass, you shouldn't even get before the advisory board or the selection board. Does that seem unreasonable?
