RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........
You have fallen prey to Politically Correct thinking.
Rules and policys are not rigidly invarient, cast-in-concrete ways of doing things. They are supposed to be ways to get things done, not something to hide behind to keep from having to exercise judgement
"Not only are the octopus and human eyes nearly identical--they share the trait of hiding behind large quantities of ink when confused or upset" Paraphrase of Terry Pratchet comment.
