There isn't any reason to believe...

There's no reason to believe the sky is blue.

...even want to identify...

Short of cuts of an entire division, sounds like fairy tales. Now, they might want to claim they have or have not done so; that's a different issue.

[phendrenad2]

What are you even talking about?

[tgma]

I am simply suggesting your assertion is self-evidently false.

[phendrenad2]

By that logic, so is yours. We should talk to the World's Records people to see if we set a record for biggest waste of time.

[tgma]

Perhaps you should. It's obvious that all companies at very least desire to know who is the high performer and who is not. To deny that for a trillion dollar successful company is just ridiculous.

[phendrenad2]

Well, I wish for a lot of things, doesn't mean I get them.

[tgma]

Well, this is what you stated previously: "there isn't any reason to believe that companies can or even <<<<want>>>> to identify the lowest performers."

And yes, there is at least some evidence to believe they do that identification somewhat successfully: their business is working.
