I found the interview to be valuable, too, for the reasons you say. I should have mentioned that; good point.

Only to a limited degree. A good journalist asks challenging questions and gets their interviewee to talk. The board member was anonymous, after all, so they could have spoken more openly and even generally about these kinds of problems. The interviewer asked easy questions and the board member painted a nice picture. (In fairness, I don't have a right to expect more (or anything at all) from some guy's blog; it's not the NY Times; so a genuine thank you is owed to Jay Shah!)
