Just about any economic or social system tends to select for less than ideal types as leaders. Consider the old expression 'those who can do. Those that can't teach. Those that can't teach teach gym.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely sounds like someone trying to conflate value and evaluate, and then plopping out an unnecessary word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if all these contrafibularities are entirely necessary. After all, language is constantly evoluating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
