the ability to talk privately with the committee is something CTTE has
allowed for a long time; it's a two-sided coin: it can prevent heated
exchanges, but it can also leave a sour taste in the petitioner's
mouth.

While i would tend to agree that it's slightly unfair, i've never been
on the other side to judge it fully.
