Well said Andy. Your comments underscore the importance of the task
advisors (perhaps we should call them "task and gate advisors"). The
rules indicate how these individuals should be well respected, fair,
and experience. Using their input more is less likely to generate
protests. I'll throw in my earlier comment here that in a big contest,
we probably need more task advisors to get an accurate "sample."
