In the "miracle potion" example - what if the player is about to accept the character dying and you save him from that death. The player, later, finds out you cheated to do so - Is he really happier. Let's say the player never finds out - but now becomes a risk taking idiot because he expects someone to always save his bacon before he dies - is this a better result?</blockquote>
