"Compassionate Meritocracy" is already oxymoronic. It is like having a smokeless barbeque.

Good one. What the ESM want us to do is like the Ribbena ad...
\"May I have some?\"
\"Yes... but not too much...\"

I don't see it as an oxymoron at all.

It's like saying 'Safe Travels' is an oxymoron.

Once one embarks on travel, one assumes a certain amount of risk.

But it does not mean travel cannot be conducted safely.

Or that a meritocratic system cannot be tempered with compassion.
