Oh brother, when will people get it,
this isn't about criticizing Zenyatta. There is no lesser horse. Neither RA nor Z is less than pure excellence. It's like with the Oscars. Technically you "win" the nomination and it's an honor to be nominated,etc etc. Well you could say after that it's really crazy to pick a "better" actor per se if all 5 are supposedly brilliant and the requirements of the parts were just different. You can try to argue what was harder but it's really a mess to distinguish between levels of pure technique a lot of the time. There's a judgment call for (hopefully) one person to be recognized with a trophy and it's not a slap in the face to the ability of the other nominees. Just because you vote for Denzel doesn't mean you think Tom Hanks sucks.
This is not about naming a loser.
I had many exams in school where we'd go 'well there's more than 1 right answer!' and the prof just tells you to pick the 'most right' one. Yes it's stupid and frustrating, but that's the way it is.
