Bridge i Norge has a different theory "Duboin was so dissatisfied with his partner that he was en route to have threatened to go home".

In England we also select teams by committee, for equivalent reasons. If we did have a trial it would basically be the same event as the Premier League. In the past few years, that would have given us teams of:
2010 (European): Crouch-Liggins, Forrester-Allfrey, Patterson-Whittaker
2012 (European and Olympiad): Allfrey-Robson, Crouch-Patterson, Forrester-Gold
2013 (Bermuda Bowl): Hinden-Osborne, Allerton-Jagger, and another pair added by some means

I am guessing Peter and Derek in particular might feel that this selection criteria was fairer than the committee.

That's rather different from a committee of several disinterested people.
Would you describe the typical selection committee as disinterested? In countries with a small elite base (such as England but even probably more so in some other countries) there are inevitably friendships and often enough family connections involved. I would imagine it is practically impossible in many instances of finding a group of selectors with no biases whatsoever towards all of the potential candidates.
