Let’s put this one through the syllogistic wringer. This means one of two things, either:

And if we are being deterministic about it — something the JC is not usually minded to do, except when proving a point like this one, but still — if it turns out you aren’t a game-changer now, then it was as true then as it is now, that you were never going to be one: you just didn’t know it.

Game-changers and game-changing contributions
If not that, then it must seek to draw a distinction between a “game-changer” and a “person who makes a game-changing contribution”. But the latter seem, to your correspondent, to be the very definition of the former. Building on our previous learnings, we can extract the following:
- P1 Not everybody is a game-changer.
- P2 Everybody can make a game-changing contribution.
- P2(a) To make a game-changing contribution is to be a game-changer.
- P2(b) A person who can be a game-changer, deterministically, will be a game-changer.
- P2(c) A person who, deterministically, will be a game-changer, is a game-changer.
- C Not everybody is a game changer, but everybody
