So are suggesting that there should be no winners in a sporting competition? No league tables, no winner no losers, how would you support a team, where would the interest be if every game was effectively a draw? So you are suggesting bias in adjudicating. I find it interesting that like to hear applause, is there a certain volume you like, so as not differentiate between a good performance a mediocre one or a poor one. How can anybody get any better if there is no critical review. Education may now be outcomes based but life is not, in the Real World there people that make things happen, those that watch things happen and those that wonder what happened. I would rather be in the first group and try and make things happen, and to do this you have to ride the punches, duck and dive, take criticism, take the hard knocks get up and start again. Don't cocoon yourself in a Cotton-wool padded PC world that in actuality does not exist, get out there and make yourself count. Life is all about winning and losing, take them out of the equation and what are you left with, a life a dull as ditch water. Competition is what makes life interesting.
