Why would exclusive spots for top tier talent in an industry not include a genetic component when exclusive spots for top tier talent in a sport clearly does?

  Because we all know that human intelligence is practically undetermined by genetic factors vs social and economic factors.

    Studies done with adopted children appear to show that slightly less than 50% of intelligence is heritable[1]. That means that a good deal of it isn't, but to say practically undetermined seems like an exaggeration?

      I'm replying to myself because re-reading this comment is sounds a little callus. While I am implying that we can't say for sure what fair looks like given human variation, we also can't say that the current distribution is fair the way basketball appears to be.
