<p dir="ltr">Dear Chris,</p>
<p dir="ltr">As both ATRT exercises showed, as well as studies in between, one common and longstanding complaint is the lack of understanding by the community of the Boards positions and decsisons. They have always emphasized the need for a clearer (and independent) rationale of those positions and decision. You just confirmed the need for a better rationale  again. Even if the question was not explicitly asked.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Wish you a nice Sunday</p>
