        @jmbroad @raganwald doesn't meritocracy have both better recall and precision than most alternatives, eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoils_System … ?

        @mattknox I think @raganwald's point is that meritocracy is actually just a type of spoils system, albeit one with a guiltier conscience.
