"Top" refers to organizational position, let's not pretend that it has anything to do with skill or knowledge.
If a football coach had his sort of win-loss record, he wouldn't be allowed within a mile of a locker room. If a mechanic kept making lengthy and unnecessary repairs to your car, you would get rid of both the mechanic and the car. If your kid's school bus driver kept getting into accidents, you wouldn't put your kid on their bus and demand the driver be fired.
