that's true, but if you think about it, that same thing applies to basically any contest. A sudoku contest, you would first have to know the rules in a sudoku, and then you would have to have knowledge on how you would go about completely a sudoku. For GFX, you would have to have knowledge of how you would make GFX, and ideas of how you could make it look good. No matter the contest, you're going to have someone who has an advantage over another person. Whether it's an intelligence advantage, or a strength advantage, it's still an advantage. The only type of contest that's "fair" is to have a luck game, where you lets say draw a name out of a hat. And that isn't really a contest, that's more of a luck game. Contests require skill, and whenever skill is required, there will always be someone with an advantage over another. That's just the pure nature of contests.
