But if the task is an All-Time Team, and we insist that we only include modernity, then it is very, very obviously not an "All-Time" Team, it is the team since X cutoff that you like. An All-Time Team requires a pound-for-pound type approach.

Your own list includes no one who debuted in the last 50 years. Is that more or less absurd than having no one from the 1800s?
