i think its just n honour thing i guess. and to be fair to co-bad painters who still give it their best effort even though chances are slim
and even a bad painter can have a great day and paint an awesome mini which might just trump others, doesnt make him the best painter though.
there are lot of examples that are alike
should the one who pays a director to make a movie, and does nothign else, get the oscar?
should a kid, who's dad makes his science fair project, win the contest?
should a president, who's people rose above themselve in a crisis, get the glory?
should a guy say he got lucky, if he paid for it?
