Excuse me, but following this kind of logic, you'll never be able to select
anything in your life!

Every competition is flawed.

Gary Kasparov might not be the best human player - for all sorts of reasons.

But if you finally want to have a champion, you have to have some sort of
competition, and you have to accept that the rules are going to favour some
competitors over others.
