Well put.

It's not at all dissimilar to walking into a conference of learned and decorated economists, and being disappointed that only a handful know how to administer First Aid.

I would have thought Mrs White might recognise the limitations of her data, as a scholar would, given her Economics degree from Cambridge and her Masters in the same, gained at UCL.

Presumably, John Lewis has an application & interview process which would have been successfully navigated by the people is talking about.

Methinks her motives are not perhaps not pure.
