[QUOTE="Wyckedemus, post: 6309999, member: 1079"] I too believe that his conclusion is wrong. What set me off was calling the Fighter worse than all other fighters. It's dangerous to state a conclusion or opinion that something is worse than everything that came before. To me that's close to edition-warring, if it is intended. The added complication, is that he tried to support that conclusion/opinion with evidence that it was empirical fact. Claiming that certain research is in fact evidence, may convince the casual observer that the conclusion is true, when it isn't. My apologies for misunderstanding your position. But you made a statement that read like "So what if the fighter is purely worse, as he claims? You can't get frustrated or emotionally involved." It read like you were accepting his claim. We're geeks man. We love, and we love hard. A person cannot claim that something we love is worse than everything that ever came before and not have their claims and intentions scrutinized. It's likely that he didn't mean for his words to be written the way they were. But if he's going to be providing that research to the public, he should learn to be more careful with the wording of his conclusions. I mean no offense. ... in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
