Before we get to the preponderance of skill industries that do the same. Any smart manager / investor cares most about actual skill vs. luck induced outcome.

It’s why all investors talk about alpha vs. beta. Beta is outcome not attributed to skill… alpha is outcome attributed to skill.

It may not be what you care about… but it certainly seems to be the dominant topic lately in the Soto thread: hand wringing about performance.

And I certainly find that fun to discuss, too
