      He’ll just dish out embarrassment and introduce a new grade called z for failed so bad you landed on last letter.

      Or

      He’ll see the genius and create a new grade on the upper end and give it SS rank

      There is no in between.

      Hunters who are good at tracking are able to follow a squonk by its tear-stained trail, for the animal weeps constantly.

      :(
