I think you have gone overboard, treating platform as if it were an infallible acid test. To listen to a candidate speak about his platform as intently as you would when given the chance to hear Jesus telling gospel truth, is simply naivete. Firstly, if it's pretty much balanced, covering all facets of governance, then it reeks of at least a team of think-tanks' fingerprints. Secondly, a brilliant platform is still just a road map. It is a good plan but nevertheless, just a plan. Hindrances and impediments such as political pressure and human frailty does not figure in the plan.

A job applicant will always tend to be all-embracing in projecting his prospective contributions since he is in a persuasive stance. The only validation that assures any employer is performance. Thus, it is only through the framework of  performance where platform graduates from theory to praxis. A candidate's execution ability should be a matter of historical record, not a prospective on-the-job training stint.
