CE, you seem to think that it’s all about brawn. It’s not, and many extremely fit people will be turned down in favor of less fit people. They are looking at a wide variety of factors, but one of the most important is a candidate’s social, emotional, and psychological makeup. And this is how this whole discussion got started. Spdrun suggested that they try to screen applicants for these psychological issues more thoroughly, and I explained that they already do so.
Again, I’m not putting you down; just trying to get you to learn more about a topic that you like to argue about, but about which you have very little knowledge. I think it’s awesome for people to have different ideas, opinions, and perspectives; but I also think that one must be informed (at least to some extent…very few of us are experts) in order for those opinions to carry any weight.
