The intent was that for me personally, I could attend 100 events that don't have the entire world there, or one world event, and I would chose the world event every time. Even if it was competing at 100, and going to watch the 1.

You are missing the forest, because you are too busy thinking about how bad that one dead tree looks.
Of course there are a hundred thousand variables that in real life determine if it makes sense for you to buy a "Lamborghini". You would be in some serious debt if you bought 100 Dodge Caravans as well.

You're right when you say that how you get there matters, but your goal informs your choice of vehicle. Think about that carefully, and ask yourself: What IS the destination, and what is the best way to get there? Not how would you LIKE to get there; What is the BEST way?

Correct, but we already know which one is more inspiring. It's a no brainer. It's the Lambo. We are talking about
inspiration and recognition. To me, a lambo is blatantly obvious that it fits those two criteria better even if you have 10, 100, 1000, or 10,000 dodge caravans (or any average car of your choosing) the lambo is more inspiring. This seems blatantly true for one world event as well. You can add as many "sorta" world events as you want. None of them will touch the inspiration that happens with a true world event.

Unfortunately this has been the case for a long time now.

Exactly. There are many real life examples of this.
