I think nepotism should only be applied if the relative fails at the gig. Luckily for us readers @BridgeDet313 has a good example of the opposite, *and* what happens when a prominent judge’s daughter not only follows in footsteps, but also runs the city’s civil rights department.

@aaronkfoley Agreed. To your og point, an "issue" of framing and a reader's (in)ability to appreciate nuance. But, it can also be difficult to determine how far nepotism extends. Was the "established career" enabled by it too? etc. etc. Give a chance at the task at-hand is a decent approach.
