The title text is a continuation where Cueball suggests the judges are biased in favor of the original winner, whom they approve of. He further states that this is evidence of corruption and is the reason why his league split off from the official state-sponsored league just prior to the Motivated Reasoning Olympics. Of course, motivated reasoning is an emotion-biased decision-making phenomenon, by definition, so he should ''expect'' the judging to be biased. | The title text is a continuation where Cueball suggests the judges are biased in favor of the original winner, whom they approve of.

+ | On a less subtle level, the title text further diminishes Cueball's second place, since it turns out the competition he won second place in was held by a splinter group from a state league, which is rather far from the global best-of-the-best otherwise implied by "{{w|olympics}}". | ||
