It is hard to create a benefit for something that is not supposed to exist under law.

... so, the politics boards are to blame?

Remedial measures are hidden by privacy, so it should be inherently uncommon to see any that are unrelated to yourself or your subordinates. That’s the reason they don’t work in lieu of a professional disciplinary system. A profession needs its discipline in the light of day … that is part of...
