even if they misrepresent it as an aversion of them,
when they are the ones averse to it and always will no matter what,
because they breed it.

No, but, bad competition is not good and is vain.
Not enough competition can also be as vain,
if not enough analysis is done, invested in, and accomplished to offset the lack of competition to get comparative experience.
