<p class="MsoNormal">I am not sure why you call this a down side because that's the actual work of the SSC: to select most of the times, one candidate out of a good pool of competent candidates. The challenge here is that not everyone on the SSC devotes the
necessary time to go through the material and do the proper assessment/ranking of candidates, that's the only time where energy and concentration are needed.
