According to the minutes of the RRTC meeting, it took 2 ½ hours to cover the officer reports and 13 agenda items. No mention of the time spent in discussing the new proposal was noted in the minutes.
This thing happened too fast, with inadequate discussion of the effect on the course measurers who will have to do the extra work. The discussion seems to have begun and ended in the span of a single meeting.
It’s been said “Perfect is the enemy of Good Enough.” This crammed-through-in-a-hurry policy is an excellent example.
This discussion should continue until a good reason for the new edict is found. Caution alone is inadequate. We already require two measurements. Is that not enough caution? Evidently not. Maybe we should require three or four.
