How does the committee determine if the reasoning was motivated?
This is a good question. My proposal is entirely theoretical and still in the rough draft stage at this point, and getting any feedback would be of great benefit. I haven’t fully worked out how the members of the committee would go about determining if motivated reasoning influenced the decision-making process.
Why not just have the committee make the decision in the first place?
The committee is acting as a check against the decision-making institution, and the ledger system used by the committee acts as an incentive for the decision-making institution to avoid motivated reasoning.
