Because the presence of cameras makes actors out of those taking part in the proceedings.
At present the fact that the numbers viewing proceedings are small and probably partisan limits the 'playing to the gallery ' aspect that will be very much present when millions can watch.
Anyway I'm bored with this thread.I've said why I dislike the scheme,why I don't think it will serve justice but will cheapen the whole process by reducing it to the level of reality TV.
