yea after rethinking it, i can see how the position you guys are arguing for could be plausible.
but it's not very clear how plausible because of the survival of the fittest nature of the game. i mean there should be selection against people who are smart but don't work dilligently, and we should see "build up" of players with smartness AND dilligence, but without having any data to confirm either one of our hypotheses, we can't know how strongly these traits are distributed among the player pool, and thus we are kind of in the dark, and are arguing from a place of ignorance.

Why cant there be a twisted scientist who kidnaps 1week old kids from the hospital and teaches them the exact same material in a prison cell.
