The piece you're missing is that we faithfully try to direct our MEC via polling and surveys,
when that input actually drives the process. 12 men can agree to anything among themselves, but that doesn't prove that they are actually doing the work of the group.
Otherwise, the best way to settle it is a vote.
Recalls are an imperfect way of doing all of this, and the group gains nothing in the interim, so a vote is best. There is nothing to fear from a vote, is there?
