Case and Proof
Mar. 5th, 2006 09:41 amThis thread is proof of the problems with certain game theory communities and certain "movements." Person makes a point, people dismiss it, someone recasts it in their own language, the guys are a little more interested. Another person changs the wording so it now doesn't mean anything near what the original poster said. Everyone gets enthused. Original poster is left sitting there scratching their head.
First wrong assumption (well other than a gender assumption) anyone can make is to assume somone hasn't played a game. Maybe, just maybe, the've played a game and still have this issue about the discourse. Playing a game like PTA is not a universal panacea (or even addressing the original point all that much).
Second wrong assumption is that anyone who challenges the party line doesn't know what they are talking about and their experiences are wrong. Nothing new there but it still annoys me.
Result, already poor opinions of a community are retrenched. Of course I'm already based in three different ways, but this sort of thread doesn't make me anymore willing to listen.
