We could experiment.. put the tub of "minister water" in to the committee roles the politician serves on, see if it does as good or better of a job...

Even if you use two pieces of identical software on identical hardware in a tournament, it's irrational to expect the results will be the same.

Expecting exact parity means expecting exactly the same set of game circumstances, which never happens.
