I know it's technically not a tie. There was a 1 second difference. I am suggesting that difference is completely meaningless, though humans have ascribed the meaning of "winning" to it. It's absurd.

Yes, it's a race, and a win is a win even by a second. But it's why I simply don't care for races. How can it conceiveably matter to anything but the race itself whether one human is faster by one second at that particular moment of that particular day?


I admire the skill of the winners. I don't admire the skill of the so-called losers who came in second by one single second any less at all.




And Kudos to Gemini Cricket for rooting for the underdog. Root for whomever you please. It's fun.
