I really do think it is the only way. Everything else gets distorted.
People say, well, most people are stupid. But I'm not so sure. Juries are a sort of pseudo-sortition, and they actually fare pretty well (far better, I would argue, than legislative or even judicial bodies).
I think many positions would be admirably served by random appointment.
