If you look at the structure of their pow-wow rather than its labeled purpose, you see that its real purpose is not to find a competent engineer but just to build a consensus. E.g. so nobody complains they wouldn't have hired the candidate.
It's the same principle which puts multiple men on a firing squad.
- walshemj 12y agoGood way to hire a camel when you need a mustang - your optimising for mediocrity. Everyone does know the joke about a camel being a horse designed by a committee? And should not have the chair/leader of the committee over ruled the outlier anyway.
- qbrass 12y agoYou should absolutely get a camel over a mustang. Even though they look like they're designed by committee, camels are an example of form following function. They're very well suited for their environment, and although they're stubborn, make good work animals. A mustang on the other hand, is a feral horse. They're harder to domesticate because they've known freedom, and they've adapted to living in the wild by being smaller and more timid than horses selectively bred for doing work. If you really do need a horse, there are few cases where you need that horse to be a mustang. If someone is hiring you because they think you're a mustang, you better hope they're caught up in the romanticism of cowboy stories instead of them being desperate for cheap labor or meat.
