It's not that. It's the fact that if other companies are paying more than the BBC will be staffed by people unable to command those wages elsewhere. In theory the tier below the best. It's hard to quantify exactly but you can say for the sure that the talented staff would go where the higher wages are. That isn't a efficient use of money from the tax payer..

Deemed reasonable by whom? Surely reasonable is the industry standard. You're not going to get away with trying to pay less than that and expect the BBC to be effective.
