I know comparisons are not always valid, but if one was a building regulations inspector with a concern about the quality of a certain building and told the developer to bring a report on a particular aspect of the way the building was constructed, would one have more confidence in that report than in a report commissioned by the building inspectorate? No, one would not. It is a matter of principle. I will not press the issue, but I find it difficult to understand why one is so anxious to retain the direct reviewer-reviewee relationship.
