Some hints can be found in the Notes on Bhagavad Gita by Subba Row 
where he mentiones Parashurama as an overshadowing. From his story we 
can infer that the vehicle fit for the approprtiate task is being 
chosen, not necessarily the man who has undergone a long preparation, 
though there of course could be some karmic predispositions.
