This is disagreeable to me because it is a blow against meritocracy.

  The same meritocracy word that was coined to mock such a concept being accurate and good?

    No. Meritocracy is not a word that was coined. Such a concept is.

      Yet the word was coined. It didn’t exist before. Then it was coined. Sure the made up BS that is meritocracy existed before. Which is the main point. It’s a BS status quo term for something that does not exist.

        Is it BS if everyone with skill and imagination aspires to reach the highest level in a given field and is rewarded for their effort? Would you rather have such a doctor treat you if you were to say, go to a hospital, or would you rather put your life in the hands of someone who is there to fill some coined up quota?
