Are you serious..? You're seriously telling someone to nevermind what's being talked about, just mind what we've told you. That kind of blind allegiance is something the general public usually reserves for the Federal Government!
In all seriousness, policy discussion is an important indicator in the fundamental driving force of an organization or institution. If those in charge of policy continually talk about a certain policy change or idea, it is very likely that policy will eventually be enacted. If nothing else, it gives you some insight into the views of those in charge of the organization. People like transparency in organizations they are supposed to trust, including organizations that are giving their recommendation of a product through the doling out of awards.
Telling people to mind their own business does not build that trust. I, for one, continue to disregard most awards like these. They are as objective as political endorsements and negligibly more useful.
