"Says who?" Says everyone who runs a business. Ask any of them if their business could function without this sorting of people - hiring the good and firing the mistakes - and they'll all say no. So that's who. Pretty much everyone who knows what they're talking about.

  That's a survivor bias. Business owners are free to run their business how they like, that doesn't mean they can pretend they hold the universal truth. There are plenty alternatives that work. It's about politics, in the end. It's ok to disagree.

    > There are plenty alternatives that work In this case, there aren't. Show me 1 successful business with large headcount that doesn't put effort into hiring the competent and firing the bad and I'll concede your point. Until then, your ideology is clashing with all of reality in an irreconcilable way.
