I agree that it should have come up in the discussion; I think that even if it did, it is a reasonable decision to think that his appointment as a whole would be worth the risk. That's really what this was -- a calculated risk, just like all CEO appointments. I think it's just as reasonable to believe that it could have gone the other way -- that there wouldn't have been as big of a backlash.
