That's because you imagine fairness can be adjusted on its own. I wouldn't say I want the game to be less fair as a primary value. But imagine I say I want the game to be more X, Y, or Z, and you respond that those changes would make it less fair. It's not hard to imagine accepting that tradeoff for some things that make the game better. Before the Rockies existed, adding a team at high altitude where the ball carries farther could have been seen as less fair, because batters for that team would have an easier time breaking home run records. But so what? Camden Yards is one of the best stadiums in baseball. It's only 318 feet down the right field line. But so what? The rule isn't a lie. It's just enforced by humans. Should speed limits not exist, just because you can often exceed the limit and not get a ticket? I sure don't want to live in a world where every street has automatic enforcement.
