Thank you for the correction! I certainly oversimplified assuming "Merit" and "skill" are the same. According to the dictionary merit has the additional requirement of being deserving of reward or praise, which I interpret to mean the path as well as the endpoint.
I am now wondering to what extent Governor Abbott understands his own policy request. Unfortunately, this also makes "merit" a very subjective criterion, which means local prejudice will be a factor.
