Absolute bunkum.

You could tell her, day in, day out, that she was the most beautiful girl on the planet.

She's still never going to win Miss World.



That's the sort of namby pamby patronage that means real progress is never achieved.
Like telling every competitors in school sports day that 'they are all winnersreally'.

We have to start by actually striving to achieve excellence.

Congratulating ourselves with a pat on the back, makes no difference what so ever.

Especially as the criteria used is so suspect to begin with.
