  That's what I meant. Some people *are* more intelligent than others,
some people *are* more competent than others, some people *are* physically
more proficient than others, no matter how "unfair" that might feel. Rather
than trying to shut down these "elite" people, the system should try to
benefit from these individuals so that the whole society gets some benefit
(usually in the form of progress).
