Well, that’s the thing about a black-box process. The good thing is that it’s
more insulated from public pressure; the bad thing is that you don’t get to
attack their reasoning if you don’t like the result, since that’s inside the
black box. So I don’t think it makes sense to try to hypothesize about their
reasons, just as I don’t think you’re going to wind up hearing what their
reasons were.
It’s perfectly sufficient to disagree with the outcome, and that’s why we have
a petition process: so that a black-box nomcom won’t be the final word on what
happens. So, go participate in the petition process. The “why” of it doesn’t
matter, just what you do matters.
