Usage notes with reference (not included here): "Accountability is condemned by some as jargon of the political élite and referring to a mechanism for democratic good-governance that is unworkable in practice."
I can't quite work out what it's on about and the fact that this is mentioned in one book, without seeing the citation in question, so what? One author expresses an opinion on a word and we put in some usage notes? Also very weasely. Condemned by some? Who? I'm looking for a reason to not just delete these as nonsense.

- I went ahead and deleted the usage note. I agree with your assessment. It seems like a fringe view, and was not expressed clearly. Colin M (talk) 09:10, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
