That's exactly what I was getting at. Again, it corroborates what you said earlier. It comes down to doing the job well. An employee who assesses a proposal and approves it even though it's ineligible is either incompetent or acting in bad faith. Either way, knowing that those employees have guaranteed jobs at the NRC, what are you going to do with all the ones who go there to work even though, as you yourself said, they did wrong?
Again, I repeat what you said: If an employee is doing their job well, ineligible projects won't get funding.
