Honestly, I don't think that ever becomes a problem in a sufficiently transparent and competitive democratic system. If there is true selection pressure, skill rises to the top. It also seems to me that if people are "superior" to others, they should be able to deal with what your link talks about. It therefore to feels to me a lot like the pseudo-meritrocratic rationalizations of people privileged by birth,environment or genetics (like us on this website, statistically speaking) that don't want to learn how to deal with people who won't blindly accept their status. Yes, sometimes that is annoying, irrational, inefficient. But it is also important, because no matter how smart we are we might be wrong.
