I was going to offer you my time if you wanted it.
Continuing on the issue of recruitment, the problem doesn't seem to be people not wanting to join. My understanding is that last year we had 70,000-plus applicants, and only about 4,000 were accepted. With PRs, 21,000 applied, and something like 70 were accepted.
You talked about not lowering standards, but what kinds of astronomical standards do we have that we're turning down 66,000 of 70,000 applicants, or they're just not getting through the process? What's the problem? What are we looking for that these people don't have?
