A notably different answer than your first, we might agree. (Nah, probly not.)

But in any case, your origninal statement …

Quote:
Unless the Academy is able to appoint you with a nomination, it is worthless.

…might be deemed, well worthless, especially if a nominee is the list’s #9 who attrites to that #1 spot. I’d say that was a pretty worthwhile nomination.



My attempt was to say the exact same thing. How did I fail?

And in my #9 to #1 example, the Academy WAS able to provide him an appointment. Therefore all my statements stand. The point that I was attempting to make was that the only way a non-national pool eligible candidate would benefit from any nomination slate would be if he were the principal nominee, either by design or by attrition.

The principal nominee to whom the Academy finally awarded the appointment, not necessarily the MOCs initial pick.
