If your classics included the Greek ones, that probably led to the aristocrats getting shipped to their demise in WWI. There might have been something akin to single combat bwtween champions in India, but that was something probably too much to expect in Belgium.

They were fighting in the infantry in every British war until then; it worked very well for a long time

(: I guess you realized that they should have joined the nascent airforce— it was the last truish example of single combat between champions, one, ironically, enabled by technology—- the continental aristocrats did :) (eg Baron von R) (maybe they had a better-faith classical education, considering their generally more accurate transmission of the classic pronunciations)
BTw Kerala supposedly.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_combat
“ The Kerala practice was discontinued in the 19th century under the British Raj.”
In the old British Empire, the upper class learnt the classics (as in, ancient myths) and were packed off to go rule the world. It didn’t go so badly (for Britain).
Perhaps we can combine the two - managers to study human nature, and then study the problem, and then use regular brainpower to come up with good solutions.
