I don’t think you read past the second sentence of my comment in your rush to tell me I’m wrong. The rest of my comment underlines why the theory is useless. The opening is just defining why they might define a loss of noncompetes as causing irreparable harm.

But the rest of your comment assumes that the employer is correct in stating that the skills of the employee come from the benevolence of the employer, or at the very least you don't argue against it; you just state that non-competes are unjust in various ways. I'm not rushing to tell you you're wrong, I think you're right, that's why I said I don't think you're on the employer's side. I'm just pointing out an implicit assumption in the steelmanned argument you're making doesn't have merit.

No the rest of the comments commentary on noncompetes applies regardless of whether or not their is validity to a noncompete. Maybe that was unclear?
