Doesn't make it untrue though.

It hits on the most obvious way to improve sustainability immediately, reduce the logistical and financial barriers to entry. Bag and tag creates artificially high barriers that are too much to overcome for many teams who operate near the margins.


Without it, we could achieve, IMO, the exact same level of inspiration and probably more technical knowledge due to the fact that the students spend more time in goal oriented activities with a high level of motivation as opposed to learning generalities that may or may not be useful in a given year.
