I'm also suspicious it actually transfers to engineering orgs, especially with managers who don't have architect senses (or intuition).
But it's likely a direct transfer from sales or retail orgs, where it's very much measurable and true.
I don't think you get better managers by paying them more though, over some threshold. You'd probably just get more "competetive" managers in the meta game of becoming a manager. Like engineers at Google are not some elite just becouse they are paid more. Only athletics actually can be evaluated in an accurate enough manner I believe.
