Okay, then I'm going up against people who are willing to risk their health to gain an advantage. Should I be penalized because I'm trying to make sure my equipment's going to last as long as I need it?
I suppose we accept that in sports -- even without doping, if somebody's gonna sacrifice their body to make a play then that's their call -- but in academia, too?
- necovek 4y agoThat's what people do all the time. In academia, pulling all-nighters to meet unreasonable demands, psychological toll of political games, jerk mentors and professors... In sports, I know of no-one participating even recreationally who does not have a lingering sports injury (me included). Basically, if you want "your equipment to last", you would not participate in any high level sports at all.
