Yeah, we weren't close to Einstein, but you don't have to be up that high to be competitive or successful with your team.

You are choosing to put that added work on yourselves because you feel the benefit outweighs the cost - but it's not something that is required to be competitive.

You are assuming that your team's record qualifies as "competitive".

I suppose we (and many others) may have different definitions of "competitive".
