Yes, but I'm arguing against your statement that they "aren't competing for limited slots." No, that's a very real thing that is part of the problem. There were too many people taking civil service exams in Imperial China and there are too many in college today.

Turchin is blinkered when he says things like "there are only 535 congressional offices and state legislators hope to rise to them". There are unlimited slots on the 900 person zoom call. The result isn't competition for fixed slots, it's destructive expansion of slots.
