Shakran, what I'm saying is that a castrato would not be hired to sing other voice parts. Castrati and tenors were acknowledged to be doing different things.

The only equivalence I can think of here would be if there was a separate event for running with prostheses. Then the two situations would be kind of similar. At any rate, the analogy kind of breaks down in that one is a process/results oriented contest and the other is an artistic pursuit/job.
