This sentence is grammatically bizarre and obscures whatever meaning that you are trying to get across--but apart from that, I have worked in publishing for many, many years now, on both sides of the fence, and while there are mistakes made in any field, and by any and every individual, I think that to make such a sweeping generalization regarding the qualifications of people in the publishing business is under-informed and so defensive as to suggest envy. We believe whatever experience has taught us is truth, but at least use specific examples to back up your arguments, rather than mean-spirited judgements of people whose basic "sin" is to have made decisions that have run counter to your wishes.
