Interesting as it turns out I'm also a software systems designer (currently founder at uclusion.com) and I also feel compelled to follow facts and logic. (You're pulling seniority on me?!? How ironic. Plus why even bother engaging with people if your opinions are

unalterable.)

I'm not asking you to prove a negative. I've provided strong anecdotal evidence that merit is broken. Do you have any evidence, even anecdotal, that merit can be salvaged? Have you observed any cases where merit worked as a hiring or promotion system?

Have you read any Claudia Goldin? The way systems of oppression are kept in place is by defining pseudo science merit systems. For instance men in management will favor uninterrupted face time because woman are more likely to have family responsibilities that prevent them from being in the office that long even when their productivity is just as high.
