There is a very noted cognitive dissonance here. I don't see how it
would be more grueling to be "frankly and freely" discussed in
private, than being so discussed in public. If that was what was
genuinely happening. In practise what appeared to be the thing that
needed to be shielded from the public gaze was the process, not the
candidates or any speech about them. I am sorry, but I have call them
as I see them.
