But this is ONLY al pi midrash!

My LOR growing up -R Wm. Cohen (not the senator!) - Darshened thusly:

The meraglim in the parshah were bigshots, public figures who went
"spying" with a lot of fanfare. (And probably ego, too)

Yehoshua learned this lesson. Regardless of the names, they were
sent privately, anonymously, and therefore may indeed have had zero
ego involvement!

Beqitzur: This is the tiqqun and the lesson learned.  

 --------------------

The kushiya, why did Moshe send out piblic figures anyway? I saw a long
d'var Torah on this many years ago and BEH I will post it later

Hint: what verb(s) describes Moshe's agents in Shelach? In Huqqas?
In Devarim?
