What is the myth?

@Bumbles That the “best, most qualified people” will always be hired.

@wishforthenight That is the way it should be.

@wishforthenight @Nitedoc Always? I don’t think anyone believes that. Sometimes it’s also not clear who the “best” is.

@Bumbles You're right. I learned a long time ago to never say never and never say always. There are exceptions to the rule sometimes.
