Absolutely not. You misread my argument (whether intentionally or unintentionally).

You can humpty-dumpty words all you like, but "everyone" is just you.

If you controlled any of those sports with deterministic multiple choice actions then they wouldn't be competitive.

Is trying to beat the highest depth of stockfish in chess not competitive? It is a sequence of deterministic, open-information multiple-choice actions.

Chess is absolutely competitive!
It's not that deterministic, multiple choice games can't be competitive, it's that they need different things from your average solo sport to make them competitive.
That's fine, you can humpty-dumpty words all you like, but everyone else thinks that those things can be competitive.
However, note that literally the entire point of the author of the blog post is that he doesn't want to be competitive and does not see his own behaviour as competitive, but rather as collaborating on achievement, so it's super weird that you're snarking on him.
