In the 21st century, quality is recognized by examining the process, not the result.

You say Larry didn't like the result. You keep pointing to the result and
saying it is "good and reasonable."  But...

I asked about the process.    What concrete method was used by the committee
to determine popularity?

How is that "not being grown-up?"  Is asking about the process second-guessing 
the committee?

I expected a quick URL or something, since it would be in the decision-making
minutes of the committee.  But you are avoiding the question so much, that it
seems like you are hiding something.  Maybe it is a lack of reproducible process 
that you are hiding?
