How so?

Do you have some reason to believe that there are small groups of
people that can effectively push something through the IETF that
don't include a few SIRs?

If a few positive SIR reviews lead to lower scrutiny by the IESG,
then SIRs might actually make it easier for a small group of
people to push something through.  Note that I don't necessarily
consider this to be a bad thing...
