Is this about a specific subject or did this just randomly come up?

I'll give an example:

If I need a car to get me 100 miles without stopping; then ANY car that can go 100 miles on a tank of gas is "qualified". The fact that you have a car that can go 450 miles on a tank of gas is a "better" performer. But, it is irrelevant. Once I get to 100 miles - that is good enough to get the job done.

Another:

I am LOT stronger than my wife. But, she is plenty strong enough to carry a sack of groceries upstairs. We are BOTH qualified to do that job. I am stronger by a lot. But, the extra strength isn't really needed for the job.

Well yes.

But, this is a spinoff thread and no one is simply asking people to meet a minimum qualification. In reality, once those are met, we expect those people to COMPETE with opposing people who also meet them.

As such, while it is true that both you and your wife can carry the groceries up the stairs..........if we need it done faster, or if the bags get heavier, I'm calling BHP.

Or, more to the point, BHP is going to show up and say, "isn't that cute..........watch this" and kick her arse.

Which, I suppose wouldn't matter if the fact he kicked her arse didn't put ANOTHER sack carrier in danger.
