3. Citizens review committee?

Let's leave book classification to trained professionals, librarians. For the same reasons we don't have "citizen review committees" to oversee bridge design and neurosurgery. Outside of Lake Wobegon, half of all citizens are on the left side of the bell curve and a number of them struggle with tying their shoes.

Elitist? You're GD right I am.
