Two

After a moment of silence, L asked, “My friend, what do you make out of it?”

“Em… I know E as well as F, your CEO, from the morning paper. I must say F is usually efficient and has a distinct distaste for bureaucracy. The idea of setting up two parallel committees doesn’t seem to be his personality.”

“Very true. From the very simple neuronal reflex to the complex operation of a government, the sequence of event should always be information collection, integration, and execution – all to be done in a single system. If we have our eyes to see what’s going on and our legs to walk, the latter would never know where to go before the former bring the necessary information to the brain. In this case, however, why should the Policy Design Committee be doing when the Review Committee is still collecting information?”

“Maybe the Design Committee is not yet working?” I asked.

"In that case what's the point of having two committees? Doesn't it make more sense to have the same group of people - whatever the name of this committee - to review the existing policy and then design a new one?" L said.

"Let's come clear. What are you implying?" I was getting more puzzled, "Do you mean F is nuts?"

"Of course not. Everything has a reason..."
