If we're invested in the "worse" or "better" categorization, we obviously need a half and half split, don't we? I mean, what kind of a world would we have if everybody insisted on only playing with musicians who were better than them? Jam sessions would become a thing of the past because the "better" musicians would leave as soon as someone not as good showed up. And the poor schmuck who is rated the "best in the world" would end up really lonely.
