As far as I am concerned, the "uniqueness" lies not in our tools, but in our skill level.
Here’s a variation on that.

Some guitarists have immense knowledge, skills and talents, but others with less to work with are way better artists. There are guys all over the internet that can shred, have tons of musical knowledge and do all sorts of amazing things, but I’d way rather listen to a slow David Gilmour lead full of feeling.

In racing you can have tons of insights, endless data etc.. but a guy with one very good insight in a particular type of race or situation that sticks to what he knows really well can get better results.
