19 I think having some sort of hierarchical structure does benefit people.
20 Not in the least because the "leads" can take care of any bureaucracy or
21 red tape that may come up to affect anybody in their project. Having a
22 person like this for a number of herds rather than a single herd just
23 seems like an intuitively good idea to me.
