Looking at this post after midnight, and your graphs appear to have a transparent background which blends seamlessly into the black night-mode page background that Substack likes.

Sometimes people know their preferred summit isn't the highest summit and so the only thing to do is change the topic to mountaineering and the dreadful cost of the good rope these days.

The diagrams were originally made for a lighter background, and I never got around to changing the colors before posting. Maybe someday.

And well said; not everyone wants to get to the highest peak.

I think this understates the two concepts' relatedness. What summits we should seek, in practice, strongly depends on what summits we can reach. I'd love to reach a summit where gender matter no more than hair color (and people used to burn redheads! Imagine that?), but I am very skeptical that the relevant mountaineering is possible, _and this is an important reason not to seek that summit_ and settle for other summits of that landscape.
