Please don't use HN for ideological battle. This kind of rhetoric is predictable and tedious regardless of which ideology you're for or against. What we want here is curious conversation, which is in another area altogether.

What gave you the impression I was talking about equality of sporting ability, or even equality of wages? I'm not talking about either of those, and neither is the article. Equality clearly (and charitably) does not mean absolute sameness.

No philosopher, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy notes, except Barbeuf (in the year 1796) has ever demanded "strict equality".
