A point for consideration

Are these questions the same;

1. "Is he qualified"

2. "Does he meet the qualification criteria"

And by the same token, should we consider the possibility that some people are better qualified for certain jobs than others irrespective of the qualification criteria?

Or does a lack of stringent criteria make everybody equally qualified.

DougR, I don't care about Clarence Thomas one way or the other, but I feel I must step in here to point out that your earlier post wasn't as informative as you purported it to be.

All you have told us, in answer to the question, is that he studied Law at yale, and that is what makes him a qualified candidate.

I would have to conclude on this information, that he was nowhere near being the BEST QUALIFIED candidate.

I know enough about the law to know that experience makes you learned in its ways.

3/4 years of college gives you nothing more than a taste.

Sometimes common sense must be allowed to prevail over pedantic rule quoting.

Do you see my point?
