Of course. But the really nasty part of the meritocracy fallacy is that success is a result of "effort". That people are poor because they for some reason CHOSE to be lazy (while in the real world, the poor of course tend to be the most hardworking).

I've argued similarly against intellectual snobbery back when academic Twitter was on their "call me doctor" kick. They were all like "getting a PhD was hard work; I earned the title" and I kept asking what title the hardworking janitor who cleans their offices earned.

Often people value morality of rewards based on traits that seem authentic to that person. Inherited wealth might not be as authentic. Whether that arg is true or not is where the interesting discussion is
