Using the term 'fitness' to imply physical strength (of a person or nation or species) sets up the false idea that we all are in a fight to the death woth one another and only 1 will survive.
It may really seem that way sometimes, which is why the falsehood spreads.
But, in reality, while the direct competition for resources between species may lead to one dominating or even eliminating the other, the best survivors ADAPT to rely and specialize on different resources (or different aspects of the same resource).
Specialization via adaptation is responsible for the diversity of life on earth.
In this way, fitness (reproduction and fecundity) may be best expressed via the avoidance of competition.
