But it is possible, over a period of time, to get a good estimate of whether someone promotes technically poor solutions that are commercially advantageous for their employers. Indeed, relative to our fundamental principle of openness, "All may speak; not all are listened to.", in order to be listened to, someone has to spend some time to establish a reputation for technical quality of their contributions, and not being a shill for poor ideas advanced by their employers.
