I agree with your overall point, but also the person you’re replying to. I think that clean and jerk may be the example that least supports your argument. If I had to optimize an athlete for one movement and then test them on 20, C&J would probably be my pick. Bench press would be lower down the list.

This isn’t just nit picking exercises here. There are some measures to optimize for that lead to broader performance. They tend to be more complex and test all components of the system.
