Apparently, but maybe not. As in any performance evaluation, it's surely inflated. "Qualified" means "unqualified." Just ask service provider who gives you a form and asks for a feedback rating. They beg you to give them a ten. Anything lower than a ten is interpreted as unsatisfactory.

Nevertheless, apparently 13 of 15 committee members disagreed with your assessment, which thus appears to me to be a little extreme.

Actually, it looks entirely commensurate with my judgment. Though it, quite frankly, wouldn't matter to me if it were not. I'm thinking of different variables than I would guess the ABA committee had in mind.

But to the argument that it is commensurate with my call. That three level scale looks to be quite typical these days. The scale is actually a binary one. Everyone else was judged well qualified. Thomas received no well qualified calls.

Sounds a bit like the investment analysts who never say sell, but when they say hold or don't buy, best get out.
