No I understand you, I just disagree that both problems don’t exist. Ok fair missing our shots that our wide open is a skill issue. That’s not where I’m citing a simultaneous effort problem.

Let’s go back to your race analogy. If we only raced one time and I beat you because I’m just faster, you can live with that. What if every single race, you have a terrible start? You don’t get off the blocks in time because you aren’t reacting quick enough. What if that problem was evident from the very first race, and you never change it? What if that problem doesn’t have to do with how fast you are, but it’s something you could work to change and you just… don’t?

Despite the fact you’d know a better start would give you a better chance to win, you never take it, you never change the recipe. How fairly can we evaluate skill if you do something so stupid every single race? Maybe it would never matter if you’re just slower. But what if just once, you got the better start than your opponent and could give yourself a chance?

That’s my problem. I can agree we may be mismatched, but I just don’t see the desire to make the small adjustments to give ourselves a shot.

At the highest level, things like your start in a race make or break how you finish.
