Your opinion reminds me of the narrative about cheaters in the speedrunning community. The cheaters say they cheat not because they feel superior, but because they feel “they could achieve good results if they put in the time”. They feel entitled to cheating.

Thanks very much for this- I had not seen it.

It does not paint a pretty picture, and I did not know this context.

Perhap the tridge I knew is also of the past, but I hope not.
