It's not about desire, just a statement of belief. I think that we are wired to use prestige as a heuristic for evaluating people's competence. And I think this is deeply rooted, unlike sexism.

Yeah but 100 years ago you could have said exactly the same thing about sexism.
I definitely agree. When were are talking about prestige, what we are really talking about is social hierarchy (synonymous with class). According to marxist theory, tribal hunter-gather societies were classless. The concept of prestige comes up much later in human history.

Let me try to be clear about your argument. I presume we agree on skills and accomplishments differing across people and correlating over time. You define prestige as a mapping of both skills and non skill advantages into a single dimension and reject that aspect?
-
Yup. Prestige is perceived accomplishments; old latin for illusion. Heavily related to social hierarchy and class. Adding a secondary unmeasurable quality to ones accomplishments that is great than the merit of the work.
