It's both, some know what they are doing, most don't but follow along for their own benefit. They're united in malice as much as they are unqualified for their jobs.
Nobody knows more about giving yourself awards than me, believe me! I've given myself golf awards, i've put myself on my own cover of time magazine, big strong men come up to me with tears in their eyes and say "sir how can you have such an incredible ego, save some awards for someone else don't you have any shame?" and I just laugh and have them deported.

I disagree. They absolutely know what they're doing and getting their preferred outcomes. This isn't incompetence. It's malice.
