What would be the point of a employer to tell their employees that they are mediocre at best and no matter how hard they try they will never shine? That is the exact opposite of the carrot dangling ever slightly out of reach. Why would someone blessed by luck tell their employees he didn't get there by working himself to death? McDonalds is a money printing machine despite not using world class chefs. Telling everybody they can code depending on effort and hiring them for relatively cheap is a solid business plan.
