Passage Summary: Some say the government shouldn't run banks because they don't know how, but the columnist points out that leaders just need to hire the right experts, just like they do with the military.

Reasoning: Managing a bank only requires appointing senior staff, similar to how non-military politicians successfully appoint high-level military leaders.

Analysis: The columnist uses an analogy to suggest that direct expertise in a field isn't necessary for oversight, provided one can appoint the right experts. Since the stem asks which claim the columnist would reject, look for a statement that insists the government is incapable of overseeing a bank due to a lack of specialized knowledge. The argument is designed to undermine the idea that 'lack of management skill' is a dealbreaker for government intervention.
