    Being the enhanced games, you would think like with the swimming event, that did break a WR with those swimsuits, allow mechanical doping. Like shoes do make a difference, so allow restrictions based on shoes, push that envelope. Unfortunately I know this Enhanced Games is a shill for supplements and not another company’s shoes.

        Exactly. If you put no rules on equipment you might as well just launch yourself out of a cannon across the finish line. That will create anarchy.

            Okay. I didn’t mean chaos, I meant anarchy. But it would also create chaos, probably.

              I fail to see how a sporting event, no matter how conducted, could bring about a community run by volunteer cooperation, but perhaps that’s a failure of imagination on my part.

                I think you’re going by a single definition of anarchy that you’re applying incorrectly in this case. You’ve tried to be a Besserwisser here, I’m guessing?

                  No, I’m trying to dispel the propaganda that anarchism results in chaos and disorder, “definitions” that were tacked on to discredit the movement.

                    Words take on different meanings than their initial intentions sometimes. That’s language for you. Nothing to “dispel”.
