Perhaps because we appear to be discussing two different things. The OP's clarification is not the same as his OP.
I'll just say that my position, which is what I think the OP was intending is: a cyclist with above average skill can ride with a cyclist who has below average (but not terrible) skill without any detriment to their enjoyment. The same is not true for many other sports.
And with that, I think I've wasted enough time on this.
