I haven’t been to CFAR personally (though I almost did in 2020), so I may not be the best one to comment, but I’ll try anyways.
Perhaps the true question lies on a more fundamental level than whether or not to implement the bureaucratic methods you’ve discussed.
Perhaps the decision to be made is whether or not to expand at all. That is quantity or quality. Because the processes governing human affairs do not allow for both, at least not to equal extents.
For example, if an order of magnitude expansion is envisioned, avoiding the increasing use of such methods would be exceedingly difficult, in fact it would be so tremendous of an advancement for human affairs, if such an expansion were realized while maintaining ‘pillow fort freedom’, that the value of such designs may even outweigh the educational goal itself.
