To paraphrase giblets[1][2], Best Employee Ever(tm) is a moral
property, Joe. It does not reflect what Robert has done, but what
Robert intrinsically is. It is not reducible to natural properties
like 'winning lucite trophies' or 'writing good code' or 'showing up
for work sober.' It is, rather, an irreducible moral property that can
be intuitied when Best Employee Ever(tm)-ness is present.

thus endeth the lesson-
