The fellow, or more likely the committee, that wrote this diatribe, obviously has a degree or its equivalent, in fine arts. A superfluity of uncommon words, various references to historical facts and figures that are really of no consequence to anyone but the author. He/it describes in various ways what is not wanted. The secret to meaningful writing is to describe what you want. Other than the title of the piece, he/it fails miserably. Excellence is not the enemy; but a meritocracy does not always embrace merit.
I am reminded of Macbeth, who, when he received word of his wife's death, said, " Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
I can figure it out and I'm just a mining engineer!
