Video game skill is 100% genetic, therefore cheating is just about evening the playing field. If someone can simply be born better why would downloading skill be wrong either? Why is generic skill considered GOOD but electronic LE BAD?

Yeah, that's not a good argument at all. If someone plays 10,000 hours to become good, and you just install an aimbot, how is that "evening the playing field". Have you ever played something you can't cheat in?

Who was good after 100 hours?

Your thesis makes zero fucking sense and is self-provingly wrong.
The 'perfect' genetic game is still going to lose to some mid-tier casual player if it's their first time playing the game ever.

Here is the best Chess player in the world, for example. He played Chess all his life. Is he naturally gifted? Absolutely, but he also devoted his entire life to one game. When you cheat, you're pretending to be people like this, who spent their life on one game. You will never be those people, because you didn't put in the hours. Much like a tranny, people who cheat are pretending to be something they're not.

If you think 99% of people could reach GM by "putting in hours" you're absolutely fucking delusional and pants on retarded or incredibly naive

I don't know, but that's a really good question. You have to wonder where Magnus got his intelligence from, and it would obviously be his parents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_Carlsen

>Carlsen was born in Tønsberg, Norway, on 30 November 1990 to Sigrun Øen (1963–2024), a chemical engineer, and Henrik Albert Carlsen, an IT consultant.
He wasn't magically born a genius, and his parents were smart people.
