the ability of a student to strategize is strongly correlated to the education and wealth of the parents. (as pointed out in the post).
the discrepancy in strategic aptitude is itself a result of chance. Only through this absolute form of randomness, you are actually eliminating the wealth, education and aptitude bonus of upper-class households.
