Hm, this is a good point. I've read different posts over the years that skirt or touch on this thought but I've never seen it phrased so well, particularly, "I don't think that they have the facilities and experience that the teams have at this point." Perhaps they don't have the stability or ability to maintain the momentum for moving forward with this ever expanding growing program in a manner that helps sustain the ever expanding growth of the teams. Having new folks in key positions may provide opportunities to address the concerns and robust healthiness of the program, overall.

It's good to see you posting.
