BEST is obviously subjective.
The elected governor was given the authority to use his subjective judgement.
We both value diversity, but we place it in very different places on the priority list.
With one person making a unilateral decision, that person's priorities--entirely by itself-- is what determines who's "best."
That's the subjective best as perceived by the person charged with making the decision.
We're not going to come across a mutually accepted definition of best--that's not how subjectivity--even in the process of trying to be objective--works.
If that person is in tune with his/her/its constituents, his/her/its choice will be well received...
Right, I don't disagree with any of that but you were making the point there is an objective singular best which is what i am questioning and want to understand?
Do you agree that person deciding could look at the resumes of the Top 10 people and go to bed thinking he will choose from a group of 3 of them but then in the morning re look at them all and pick someone entirely different?
If there is truly a singular best that cannot happen as there is only one.
In your world view he is making a wrong choice, if his goal is to choose the best and he,, in his mind can choose between any of one of 3 or 5.
How do you reconcile that? If there is truly only one how can he debate and switch on his choice and is he wrong in doing so?
