I wasn't lecturing you about balancing the game - I already said that I
could quite understand and agree with your motivations on one hand. What I
had the problem with was your blanket statement that ascribed uniform
motivations to a very broad and diverse group of people. That was my
quibble with your message, not the balancing motive nor the actual
mechanics for the fix.
