Scalzi's exegesis of Capobianco's argument here: "I believe what Michael is trying to say here is that he expects the new process itself will keep the same mistakes from happening again, regardless of who is on the committee."

It's a bureaucratic argument, something I'd expect in a civil service whose inept employees are too hard to get rid of: we can't change our people (i.e., fire the fuckups), so we'll change our process (i.e., make it harder for the fuckups to fuck up). Applies equally to organizations whose volunteer pools are limited or closed shops.
