Re: Our Views, “A modest agenda,” of Jan. 20: The first error I noted in this editorial was the authors of the editorial; is this a case of mistaken authority on the topic of politics? I could not obtain any information to prove that they were well versed and had authority to speak to the topic. Within the first two sentences there is the use of unwarranted assumptions by assuming that if a politician knows their limits, they can be more successful than by performing well in office.
