I get that. I am a signal officer. Those guys will be signal officers. I have a pretty solid idea of what their level of actual responsibility is. The point is they need some expertise to exercise that level of responsibility. Otherwise they are tiny advisors masquerading as people with real legal authority.
They don’t seem to be. I read their comments as directly calling out that they are “tiny advisors masquerading as people with real legal authority”, strictly because they do not have the requisite experience to be anything else.
