If it's any consolation, I certainly do appreciate your repeated efforts to make that point. You are analyzing the game not only politely but accurately. Then you're explaining how and why different choices would have worked better for you. The discussion has been illuminating and I'm sorry you're feeling frustrated by it.

It's unfortunately inevitable that a discussion of this sort will slide into an attempt to convert you. The same thing would happen if this was a debate about musical taste, or film, or the relative virtues of various computer operating systems. It's the nature of the short hand we use when we argue personal preferences.

What would probably be more useful to folks on both sides of the fence would be a discussion of ways to fine tune HQ
