MJ encourages honest evaluation because exaggerating grades can backfire if too many others don’t follow suit.
I guess I don’t quite understand this point. Why wouldn’t everyone exaggerate grades?
Dolphin liberals would just tell all the dolphins to give dolphin Harris an excellent grade, insisting she was excellent in comparison to dolphin Trump. (Sorry to break out of the thought experiment.) So this:
This can help identify when all candidates are weak
wouldn’t happen when all the dolphins try to game the system. Did I misunderstand?
And just to come full circle:
Baalbek, named after Baal, is an ancient city in the Beqaa plane in Lebanon. It was known as the bread basket of the Roman empire. The Romans build the largest temples outside of time there and allowed worship of Baal to continue in the large entrance building in front of the Jupiter temple. The temples stood in good condition for centuries and are now under threat by IDF bombing, which has already come as close as 500 meters, while every building in the city has been declared a target and it’s people ordered to evacuate.
