[nb-soc] The Moses Effect

[Shannon Lee]

Yeah, so it's been a while since I was at a Tuesday meeting, so it's
possible everything is different, but when we set this up the lack of
concrete rules and consequent reliance on custom and convention was
intended to slant organizational power toward people who'd been around for
a while, and to tend to make the org sort of naturally conservative and
resistant to precipitous change.

So yeah, it's a feature.
