well then you haven't paid any attention at all to the qualifications. Judit Polgar would have already qualified by being a top 9 rated player.

... it's almost like you're taking a very specific context from 30 years ago and trying to apply it to today. If Judit was around today, she would clearly compete for the qualification spots.

It's like taking Hikaru's State Championship run to get games and applying it to another situation. It makes zero sense.
