I have to use the commented "hack" lines.

I really need a compilable example. Exactly how are you instantiating
BaseSelector? The reason I always ask for complete examples is I cannot
count the number of times I've mocked up an example based on the complaint's
description, only to find that it works fine. There was something else
causing the problem that wasn't mentioned in the description that the person
assumed was irrelevant.
