While I agree with you on strictly utilitarian grounds, on
group-stability grounds, I have to disagree.  Having only two officers
will--I think--be unstable.  Even at three, you can have *severe*
problems (have a chat with anyone who remembers there being 3 Board
members....).  At 5 things seem to smooth out.
