The conduct of the Appeal Board demonstrates such disregard for fundamental legal principles that it can only be explained by the fact that its members are not legally trained. From the perspective of a person with legal training its conduct is incomprehensible. The level of disbelief is probably at a level a surgery patient and operating room staff would display if a heart surgeon dressed in hunting gear enters the surgery suite with his hunting dog and a bag of dead ducks, without scrubbing or taking any of the other precautions necessary to ensure a sterile environment.
