Yes, I think it is about building a ladder of expertise. It is not about a few elites mastering the language of both worlds. I am not an expert lawmaker. My understanding of the legal principles are very shaky, but I do have pretty good co-founders in my office who are just a level above me when it comes to legal understanding, but they are good to explain to me. Then, they can consult people who are even more professional in legal theory and so on which is also in my office. If they want, they can also reach to the like truly constitutional court judge level of people who of course do not have the time to explain to me all day long, but through those two or three layers of intermediacy, we can get pretty good consistent translations going. So, this is not about someone playing the role of a mediator. This is about the competence of contributing to dialogues which is part of our both lifelong and basic education.
