This would be different from a normal election... how? :-)
Well, skipping over the smiley and the entirely accurate implication that a
voting population mostly comprises people without this sort of assessment
expertise, I'll observe that a Nomcom is a small crucible of
specially-empowered
individuals.
The dynamics on Nomcom members (and Liaisons and Confirming Bodies) are
considerably more intense than on an individual voter.

ps. But yeah, this is a topic ripe for humor. If only it also were not so
ripe
for misunderstanding and distraction. And I've already received some
well-intensioned private email demonstrating how easy it is to miss the point I
was trying to make.
