Wow. Absolutely wrong. Merit is the ability to skillfully, competently and reliably complete the duties at hand, be they sinking a lay up in the NBA, performing surgery on a heart or brain, or piloting a jet aircraft. Merit cares not how you got your skills, or the obstacles you faced obtaining them. All that matters to merit is that you do in fact possess the required skills and knowledge that others who depend on you to execute.
