Logically, I agree with you, but I don't think logic is the correct
choice here.

Looking at it the other way, if the confirming body can not agree that
the NOMCOM has done the best job it could have done, we want there to be
a deadlock because we want that issue to surface and be visible to the
community.

In other words, a deadlock in this case is considered a feature.
