It's almost like there's some truth to the "Trying to make dozens of shitty pots actually produces better pots than trying to make a single perfect pot".

Iteration eats inspiration for breakfast.

In a winner-takes-all game, there's iteration, but there's also a single top act, and a tremendous combination of skill, luck, and manipulation in ending up on top.

It's not as if the team making the most pots always wins. Though the winner often makes a lot of pots.
