I think this hearing showed how important playing politics is for any career.

One can be absolute incompetent and clueless in everything but as long as they are good at being performative and playing politics. They can reach top level of organization, have all the power and money without much of the responsibility.

Even if one doesn't like politics, knowing how to read people and identifying politics in play is crucial as an insurance in career.

It's bleak, but that's the way human works.
