The people are identical. You already know they have equal capability. You, the employer, are just performing a coin flip to choose, albeit using a medium that is not an actual coin. Using up precious resources to weight the coin in your favour as the worker might find short-term gain, but you will lose in the end. The data around this is abundantly clear. Those who actually succeed long-term find a way to leverage their resources to ensure that they are not identical to the other guy – but to become one who is better. Distracting yourself by the coin flip is a recipe for failure, as we see time and time again.
