This.
Now there still is a point in investing a little more work to get others to do

More eyeballs see more issues, adding to the gene pool etc.
But there is a limit to how far this takes, and a policy that entirely forbids
WG chairs from generating documents will just make sure that people competent
in the subject can no longer be WG chairs.

say, DICE may not be the right thing for, say, TLS.
