so it follows that it is liikely that under a principality system, those responsible for the 
process of elevation are most likely the ones that would know you best (which i 
believe is exactly how the system was deigned to work?)... which in turn should lead to 
a higher percentage of people deserving such elevation (in all the orders of peerage) to 
achieve it, unlike now where many are simply *lost* in the process due to being unable 
to travel constantly and become familiar to their "peers"

so it could well be argued that a principality would be a good thing for the health and 
optimization of the peerage system and would improve the orders by bring more 
deserved candidates into their ranks.
