Of course, there are some other, unspoken prerequisites to this sort of perfect harmony of flower children prancing through the meadow.

  - pre-selection of qualified individuals
  - dictatorial authority precluding much superfluous decision making
  - martial and capital punishment casting a long shadow
  - high stakes besides all of this
  - weeding out according to fitness long before harmony is reached, where the weak are pruned mercilessly

What about:

  - shitty HR negotiations
  - lies during interviews, that can neither be proven nor disproved
  - grooming habits
  - sexual tension
  - and the rest of all of our human foibles
