Maybe it's time for a change?

Considering only Tournament successes may seem intuitively the way to go but lacks a logical foundation in my opinion.
If someone was considering investing in a business would they only consider annual receipts in making their decisions? Or would they also consider, wage costs, capital investments, overheads (cost of travel, accommodation and subsistence costs), lost earnings, risk, and likely profit margins.
Players can have impressive results but be losing significant money in the long term. Considering only major tournament successes also significantly favours players who tend to be richer and with more free leisure time, than players who are not so well off, or do not have so much free time. This seems like an unfair bias, which runs counter to a fair system of meritocracy, which I believe is the ideal.
