Talk about hiring the best people.
Why wouldn't we just hire the best person for the job?
You hire smart people not perfect matches.
How about focus on hiring the best people?
Does this conflict with the mantra, 'Hire people that are smarter than you.'?
there is much more to a hire than just technical ability (eg., personality fit, overqualified, will they stick around, etc.)
Don't hire hacks, hire people who are talented.
What are your criteria for hiring people smarter than yourselves?
If you can solve the "don't hire 'bad' people" problem you will be a very rich person :-D
Remember that a company that only hires the best, is only hiring people looking right now
