I think that this works if you see a trip as having value, and signing letters has
no value. If I understand Seaver's later post, that may be what he thinks.
I disagree. It's not a binary system. Things have greater and lessor values than each other. And those same things are in different places on the 'scale' to different people.
For me, a gesture to the family that lost someone has more value than a trip. I respect those that feel it's the other way around.
One of my points is that a professional in that role should understand that
both are important, because different people see things differently.
Because that doesn't seem to be the case, it's not a stretch to see it all as show/politics. Or to draw the conclusion that he's not doing the caliber of job he should be. That seems to me to be the binary choice here.
