My basic concern is that Ben is taking the fact there is high representativeness now to be a good thing while not seeming so worried about how this higher representativeness came about. This higher representativeness (as Denise points out) could well just be result of people who aren’t enthused with the current leaders’ vision simply leaving. The alternative route, where the community change their minds and follow the leaders, would be better.
Anecdotally, it seems like more of the first has happened (but I’d be happy to be proved wrong). Yet, if one thinks representativeness is good, achieving representativeness by having people who don’t share your vision leave doesn’t seem like a good result!
I share Denise’s worry.
