But is it really fair that surgeons or NFL players don't match societal distributions for their respective traits? Think about how this makes all of the low-dexterity, low-coordination little boys and girls feel. For the sake of feelings, I demand mandatory mediocrity for every profession. Anyone trying to be exceptional should be hampered accordingly.

You're comparing advertisement to skill based jobs...

TIL being a 6'5" athletic model is not a skill, being a 6'5" athlete is a skill.

First, yes, being a 6'5" athletic model is NOT a skill. In fact, being a 6'5" anything is not a skill: it's genetics.

But even more so, whether it's a skill or not it's irrelevant. One is sports, the other is advertisement. We always have the ability to restrict one domain but not the other.

Athlete, yes. 6'5, no. Come on man, do you hear what you're saying?

[briholt]

Woosh.
