I believe "corrupt" and "evil" ....

Hmm, a 76% fail rate on re-examinations shows either corruption or gross
incompetance. Since the number is consistant over several years and appears to
be across the board with examiners, the problem lies with the system.

The system provides for money on the submission & more money on the
approval. Call me a cynic but, protracted, systemic, incompitance that results
in grossly inflated income probably involves more than a touch of corruption -
otherwise it would be fixed.

Evil on the other hand is a moral judgement.

The fact that elected judges need to obtain campaign contributions (also known
as legal bribes) is all the evidence of general corruption that should be
needed.
