Moses believed human worth could be measured precisely through a scientific grading system

Evidence

Shining through all Moses’ statements was confidence, a faith that his system would work, a belief that the personalities of tens of thousands of human beings could be reduced to mathematical grades, that promotions and raises could be determined by a science precise enough to give every one of those human beings the exact rewards he deserved. — Robert A. Caro, The Power Broker, 324
