the powers that be and thus unavailable? Or is it that the program in
place is already at the cutting edge, and thus no meaningful
improvement is foreseeable?
Also WHO is deciding the QUALITY of the programmer, and determining
it is bad, or will be bad? Does this judge have a record to wave as a
reliable judge, either from past record or from demonstrated
expertise?
