While O1 is more explicitly geared towards highly skilled, a lot of professors and researchers (and certainly most of the great engineers employed by FB, Google, etc.), from both India and elsewhere, actually come over on the H1B as the paper work is far more complicated for the O1.

Still doesn't change the fact that H1B is not the visa for exceptional talent. Its simple a visa meant to hire people in occupations where there is deemed to be a shortage of workers, from what I read.

Sure. My point is that I and others (and it seems Trump as well) want to see a system that is geared towards sth more merit based and towards exceptional talent. Any time people try and make a pitch about how legal immigrants are good for the country, most of the time they bring up people who would have qualified under a merit based system. So if a policy is being sold on the basis of X benefit to the American people, shouldn't the policy be geared towards actually bringing that benefit rather than fulfilling some other purpose?
