[QUOTE="GlaziusF, post: 4461687, member: 74166"] A right thing fulfills the purpose it sets out to fulfill. The purpose of a game is to satisfy its players. The purpose of paying to watch a game is to be satisfied by watching it. More players were satisfied with (you could even say "enjoyed") the new shot-clock-enabled basketball, and more people were satisfied by watching it. Therefore, basketball with the shot clock is more right than basketball without the shot clock. Is it the most right basketball could ever be? Who the hell knows? But you can't use "it won't be perfect yet" as an excuse not to make a change. Similarly, satisfaction implies a certain completion. An accomplishment, if you will. This has been out in idea space since Aristotle. Accomplishment is the result of a series of meaningful choices, many of which are meaningful actions. A "game" where a player makes no meaningful choices has no accomplishment and is not satisfying. [/QUOTE]
