I suspect the assumption of bad faith is because he doesn't believe anyone
could genuinely propose such a ridiculously bad idea. When limits on such

completely unrealistic. Either you would have to massively overpay your
junior staff (wasting donor's money) or you wouldn't be any to attract any
experienced senior staff.
As a comparison, Doctors Without Borders/MSF USA had a policy of paying the
E.D. no more than 3 times the rate of the entry level positions. When I
left at the end of 2004, the entry level salary was $35,000 and the E.D.
was $105,000. Not sure what it is now.
