But a lot of the inner workings and prep that the House and Senate operate on take a lot of time to adjust to. With a limit, you'd be stopping knowledgeable committees from forming and giving the Congressmen time to forge connections.

I think term limits would be good because it would allow fresh ideas to come in a blossom. It could even be politicians from other elected offices. But, I would like to see rotations, personally. However, the terms and the limits on said terms could pay respect to your point, though.
