Just for the record, "inhibit" can mean hinder or restrain (make more difficult) as well as prevent (make impossible). I myself would never use it in the "make impossible" sense and was surprised to see that meaning. Probably the poster who first used is used it in the sense that I would.
Hmm, I think the word for make more difficult would be "impair". Inhibit means to prevent. I'm sure you could qualify a statement by saying "could inhibit" though. I know, semantics. My back inhibits my ability to skate, but it only impairs my ability to walk. Anyhoo, I'm glad she's going to LaLaLand because MR was too stale and overused. I don't get the feeling she's really THAT hungry anymore and I have serious doubts she'll place top 3, again. And if it's like four years ago with Mirai in 3rd and Ashley in 4th, I just don't think she deserves to bump Mirai again. Or Tennell, or Chen if she brings it.
