> he is merely exploiting the compassion of the society of the fittest
If they are the fittest, how come he can actually do it? If he can "win", that is fit enough for nature, moral questions aside.
If we had a whole system saying that people with 11 toes always run faster, and a person with 10 toes wins once, that system was based on false premises, taken as objective truth without proof.
Now, if we have a system that claims people with 11 toes usually/on average run faster, why not allow the diversity of runners with 10 toes?
