The setsize and imbalance of control are not issues, they are  
features.  You can't get reasonable consistency or quality any other  
way.  Again, you seem to be ignoring the numerous remedies to abuse  
or poor decision-making that exist (some formal, others informal).

This discussion has long since become circular, we're not converging,  
and I'd rather be doing useful technical work.  So this will be my  
last post on this thread.  You may now have the last word.
