Right. I'd argue that most of the distortion in US governance is due not to incompetance but malice (like bias that serves moneyed interests), and this malice is deliberate. Random selection alone would cause the 'malice factor' to diminish to the mean. Thus future governors would be no more malevolent (or incompetent) than the average Joe.
