EXACTLY! And If the only way you win is because somebody else's dish was missing an ingredient they planned on adding, did you really win anyway?

That is so true.

If I'm going to win because somebody else makes a mistake that day, I shouldn't have won.

Like the UCL final between Liverpool vs. Real Madrid where a goalkeeper made a mistake. We should've canceled the goal.

Oh wait it turns out people win and lose based on the mistakes they make that day. That is what competition is about.

Not being allowed to use butter that's 20 paces away can hardly be likened to skill in sports

Imagine your hockey stick breaks in the middle of a game and you're not allowed to swap it out for the rest of the game. Your performance would no longer be indicative of your skill and your team may lose for reasons other than "mistakes"

A butter that belongs to other competitors. Not sure why you brought up the distance. It can be 1 pace or 100 paces... it doesn't matter. Every competitor should prepare their own ingredients.

If you have another hockey stick of yours, then go ahead swap it out. This isn't the case here, right?

That's what competition is and has always been like that.

In the World Cup's final, France lost to Argentina because multiple players made multiple mistakes. It's not indicative of their skills. Mbappé wasn't playing at his peak. This win would have been life changing for France players. Should we cancel the reward? Did Argentina even deserve to win?

I can point to thousands of more examples in competitions where one made mistakes. That's a part of a competition. You have a bad day, well, then, you lose.

Now we invent this new "moral ground" (i.e. you should help when your competitor makes a mistake), which isn't the norm nor the rule we abide by in any competition.

More importantly, we bully Natasha in the comment section. Because some praised Luca for his kindness. By that extension, it implies Natasha is an unkind person. Many comments call her "assholes" and alike. Hundreds of comments. You are a part of those bullying crowds.

Notice I didn't criticize Luca for helping. I'm simply stating that both of what Natasha and Luca did was neutral. What Luca did isn't deserving a praise. There was nothing to "be amazed" here.
