Well we are specifically talking about programming languages
here. I clearly limited my concerns about committee design to
this field, and no one should for a moment assume that my
statement has any wider scope.

So, if you think that design by committee can be effective
for programming languages, please give examples. As we have
said, Ada most certainly is NOT such an example, neither is
any of the other languages in most common use (C, C++, Java ..)
They are committee *refined* perhaps, but certainly not
committee *designed*.
