Or were those not meant to be titles but signs that the process was closed? I see nothing wrong with that. The sentiment that having more people involved in the process necessarily improves things is, alas, not held up by my own anecdata:

Reminds me of a prolific and often-published friend who wrote a horror novel about a Zoroastrian cult only to have the publisher bedizen the cover with a painting of a slavering dog's head superimposed over a pentagram and the back with the following phrase in unnervingly large letters:
FLESH FOR SATAN
For weeks afterward, my friend could be heard wandering around people's kitchens muttering, "'Satan cult . . . they think it's a Satan cult. . . . It's the idea that knowledge, not faith, allows people to survive death. . . . No pentagrams in the book, not even one. . . . No sacrifices, no 'flesh' appetizers . . . I'm gonna get angry letters now . . . 'you said there'd be satanic blood rituals in here' . . . ."
