Too many Dashos and Rinpoches is a good thing.

I just remembered a quote from the movie The Incredibles, where the villain doesn't have any super powers in a world where people have super powers. Heros are treated like stars. So he uses tech to mimic super powers and becomes a super hero himself. In the movie he plans to give away all his gadgets when he becomes old, so that everyone gets to be a superhero. "If everyone is super, then no one is super". So in a way, I feel that every 1 in 5 person in Bhutan being called Dasho or Rinpoche, would dilute the prestige and will eventually reach the point where requests or favours from such titles will be ignored.

If everyone’s a Dasho, then no one’s a Dasho.
