Of course, my views on this issue are by no means set in stone and still evolving. I’m happy to elaborate on my reasons for preferring this more modest usage if you are interested.
I think the more modest usage is reasonable choice.
Maybe you had a different country in mind. [regarding top-secret security clearance]
I am Czech. We do have the institute, and use it. But, as far as I know, our president doesn’t have it, and a bunch of other people don’t have it. (I.e., it seems that people who need secret information on a daily basis have it. But you don’t need it for many other positions from which you could put pressure on people who have the clearance.)
