We aren't even dealing with the idealized member of the society who is best at whatever it is one assumes that the race is best at and defines them solely on such abilities and merits-- we are specifically dealing with members of the society who probably fail to meet those expectations to some degree.You aren't likely to get the Elven Archer and the Dwarven Shieldmaster if those happen to be what one arbitrarily decides are the best of the best of the best of their people-- you are more likely to end up with the Elven Swashbuckler and the Dwarven Musketeer.</blockquote>
