Certainly it is important to keep the
wrong sort of individuals away from terribly important matters. Anyone who, for instance, does not pay respect to the ceremonies and traditions. Of course, one mustn't take it too seriously, it's just a bit of panto to keep them in line on the outside. But certainly one mustn't dirty one's hands handling the technology (we have people for that), rather dictate instructions and read aloud in an appropriate voice - you know it when you hear it.
