Agree with everything you said.

Expanding on a point: “...not enough mass (more important than you would believe)...”

Weight divisions exist in sports for very good reasons. Anyone who has ever stepped into the ring or onto the mat with someone 30 pounds heavier can tell you what is going to happen.

It’s simply not competitive to have more than a 10 to 20 pound spread between competitors in most weight classes. Hell, competitive athletes try whenever possible to squeak by just under the maximum weight cutoff for their class - it’s far easier to fight a division below you than a division above you.

There’s equality in face of the law, and then there’s equality in all things under the sun. The former is something we should pursue, the latter is a destructive fantasy that only fools and liars espouse.
