There is no harm in it, I was merely stating a possible reason for certain
actions to have occurred and while they will still occur in the future. And
by the way, I wasn't refering to "Intelligence", I was referring a bit more
to "Experience". Creating a game experience, as you well know I'm sure,
requires a lot of balancing out of certain facets of game mechanics.
Experienced gamers or people who -really- want to play and understand the
game, whatever -THE- game is, will want to learn as much as they can while
potential players, those being people who haven't -quite- made up their mind
yet, need to have things kept interesting for them.
I am not trying to insult anyone, I promise.
