Rethinking the opening: if chess is a forced draw (building a narrow, bulletproof repertoire)

1) So does the Grob which literally loses by force.

2) yes but in almost all cases it is played after Bf4/Bg5, and as it isn’t a forcing move or a developing move, it’s a bad first move.

I wouldn't be surprised if ,... scored well for two reasons. 1) It is the St. George attack if I remember right. which means it has it's own ideas and theory. 2) e3 is a strong developing move in other systems.

1 e3 is not bad at all and the engines even give White a slight edge.

If chess is a forced draw, it's like all the other main lines. That shifts the battle to familiarity and reduction of homework.

I own a home with multiple bed and bathrooms, no mortgage and am in my early 20s.

This proves that dumb people can have rich parents, or be extremely lucky.

Wondering why I'm supposed to care about how much money or wealth someone else has. I'd hate to be remembered for nothing more than being a high earner. Money comes and goes anyway: I've been rich, poor, and everything in between, sometimes in the same year.
