- kazinator 2y agoYes but the regulations are about subject matters which are not themselves law. You would think that a regulatory body concerning itself with regulating X would have some experts in X at the highest level of decision making, not just as consultants.
- JohnFen 2y agoBut what the FCC is charged with is political/legal, not technical, decisionmaking. It makes sense to me that this means the main skill required is political/legal, and consulting with subject matter experts where required.
- kazinator 2y agoIt is fine in theory, but isn't it a problem that if you have some political stance, you can easily go through a roster of powerless experts until you find someone who agrees with you?
- sydbarrett74 2y agoAhhh...the woes of regulatory capture. :/
