You probably were just venting, but I think about this often too! My serious response is that in a mainstream culture so under-competent in quantitative reasoning as ours, means-testing advances the pretense of objectivity, neutrality, or both.

I’m less concerned by policy makers and more concerned by like progressives who are! I think it’s a key example of how our brains have been warped by like the Kennedy School of Government. Need to push ourselves outside of that mindset and it’s so hard!
