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?
Woosh.
