I absolute agreement with your assessment.
The primary problem I (and not doubt others) had with Sam Sloan's
nominations was they were for two people who had no idea that they were
being nominated. They had not been asked if they wished to run or if
elected if they could or would serve.
This raises a point of order question, what does Robert's Rules have to
say about nominations in this context? Is it permissible to nominate
someone without their knowledge or permission, and with no assurance
that they can or will serve if elected?
What was decided was there would be a vote on the four nominees, and if
that failed, additional nominees would be accepted, and there would be
a secret, paper ballot to decide the four committee members. But, as
fully expected, the four nominees were accepted by a nearly unanimous
vote, and plan B was moot.
