This unfairly rewards them, and punishes the team they select. (Provided that this below average team scouts well, and picks a top team)

I don't mind if you disagree with me, Karthik. I'm not certain that I agree with me on this reasoning, either.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
