Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wicht" data-source="post: 6597815" data-attributes="member: 221">In your opinion.  Though which part of, "all games have it," are you having problems with?I never said I was not subject to confirmation bias. I am aware enough to guard against it pretty well, in point of fact, which is why that is not how I think, nor am I particularly vulnerable to it.Furthermore, when I say, that is "not how I think," I mean exactly that - it is not how I think. I do not hate anybody enough to dislike good food. If my worst enemy gave me a good meal, I would thank them cheerfully and try to enjoy it. Furthermore, I would never lie about a meal in an effort to ruin somebody else, nor would I waste time disliking something because of a person. A thing's goodness speaks for itself independent of its relationship to things not good. It is more useful to focus on what you like and less useful to spend all your time focused on those things you dislike. Not that I hate anybody enough for it to even be a matter of any relevance. And I certainly have never hated a game. I mean, my least favorite game I have ever played is probably Phase 10, and I certainly don't waste time trying to put it down. I simply try to avoid playing it, and when I am called upon to play it (because my mother in law likes it) I simply grin and attempt to enjoy the company and make the game go as quickly as possible. I certainly would not, however, think that because I dislike Phase 10 I will dislike all games with similar mechanics, because I don't, nor would I badmouth the company that made it. Again - I don't think that way.I never said they were. You might spend less time arguing, and more time trying to actually understand what other people are saying.</blockquote>
