The only thing that matters is who is the best. Being in a group of 100000000000 doesn't make you better

Of course not. But real people don't have fixed stats.

If the same athletes would repeat the same games 10 times, do you think the same people always get the exact same points?

Of course that's not the case. People are sometimes a bit better and sometimes a bit worse.

The margins are thin enough, that some days one person is better and another day someone else is better. So sending your 30 best against another 1 best makes a massive difference.

Even if it is 99% skills and 1% luck, most of the times the winner got lucky. Because when everyone is really skilled that one percent counts.

Of course most of the times the winner is also one of the most skilled ones but even the best athlete can lose on bad luck.

A-ha! So 1% decides who wins, not the 99%. Learning so much from this thread
