Professional management is a problem, but Roberts does not know why. Managers have to know more than the people they manage in order to inspect work product and enforce standards. Roberts does not want this. His approach is to substitute "merit" for seniority, but "merit" will be defined corruptly and standards will still not be enforced. His system will not earn anyone's respect or loyalty and its output will have no quality. No one will want to buy it, so close the borders so that they will have to buy it.
