I don't think you offended anyone. Competitions are geared to specific things. Things that make those breeds that compete in the competitions shine. Hence why in the pointing world there are Field Trials and Cover dog Trials. As with NAVHDA it is geared for dogs that can multi task rather than focus on one prominent skill. In the retriever world it is Hunt test and retriever Trials. A Lab or Chessie is only going to be a stud in Hunt test of retriever trials. They just are not built to hang with big running dogs. They are also not going to hang with the Dogs in NAVHDA. But they can proved adequate upland hunting skills for the average foot hunter. How many of his dogs have been to NAVHDA Invitational Test?
