> The name is a two-pronged claim of superior holiness:
> “Caring” because, well, of course she is more compassionate than you.
> “Unit of” because she approaches things, even caring, in a systematic, scientific way; that is to say, she is smarter than you.
On one hand, he's right. On the other hand, the idea that people wiser and more compassionate than yourself should not rule over you is counterintuitive (to say the least). But I guess you can't argue with results.

That's what I was referring to with 'results'. I.e it sounds nice until you realise the purported wise smart bigbrains are just nigger worshippers, and having them in charge sucks
