You have to understand that we are not the ones who had proposed his name for the L1 Task Force in the first place.
I will not get into the controversy of what happened after that (you can find Jacob’s explanation here in Agora if you look, and you will definitely find Z’s explanation on Twitter) but the fact is that Prof. Edward Kim chose this L1 Task Force himself, putting his trust and belief in the individual capabilities of this team.
If you check Rabbi’s alternate team then it has members ONLY from this original L1 Task Force which was chosen, I repeat, by Ed himself.
Whether or not that proposal will pass and whether or not that team will work together is a different question, but the fact that Notional was chosen for this task initially is absolutely correct.
