In my experience, this is not true.  If there are real problems, then 
please bring me a specific detailed case in which the ArbCom really got 
something badly wrong.  There is an appeal mechanism, after all.  And in 
my experience, the ArbCom is eager to correct errors, examine everything 
to see where the evidence leads, etc.

Not all the work is public, and for good reason.  There are frank and 
thoughtful discussions about how to best defuse difficult situations, etc.
