Statistics or ratings are rarely the sole reason why people are promoted; merely a quantifiable justification.
Not very different than what people say when they come here to complain about not getting hired. Not much different than what officials say about their associations or the assignors they work for.

This is just another example of someone feeling they are entitled to something they have yet to earn. This is no different in sports or other aspects of life. Sports are only a reflection on what people do in other aspects of society
