I don't think anyone said that it is impossible to be good at both. Lil' Lavery's point, which I agree with, is that a team shouldn't compromise their scoring arm/lift/whatever by adding ramps that will end up being mediocre. Excelling at ramping or scoring is far more useful than being average at both.

If you think that your team can do both well and neither is severely hampered by the other, then good for you and your team! That means that you have confidence in your robot and you designed it well.
