Buckeye Surgeon: “Moving a bunch of rubber balls from one cup to another or being able to tie a knot in a piece of styrofoam does not necessarily translate into real life excellence. It’s like drafting a quarterback based on how fast they can run the 40 yard dash and how many footballs they throw through a tire in a 60 second period. Surely we can do better than rubber balls and styrofoam bowels.”
