Not quite. Talent plays a part too.
We went to the moon because our German scientists were better than the Soviet's. And the guy who took us to the moon was in charge of Peenumunde. He came from a society that had no freedom whatsoever. He went further in his career due to the fact of a freer society.

Frgough you got to quit quoting Ann Rand and her free society ideals. A free society also has to operate under rules so all can participate. In actuality, 53% wanted the referees back to make the game fair. No one has a right to succeed but a right to pursue it. Must be sad to have a doom outlook on life because your party lost.
