[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8511421, member: 6790260"] If your point is that others are being more concerned with balance than you are, that's fine, but it doesn't make a very strong argument. "Stop pursuing perfect balance" is significantly stronger...so long as the other person actually is doing that. And that's the problem; just because it's a more stringent idea of balance than you care for doesn't make it the pursuit of [I]perfection[/I]. That's the issue. I have absolutely no problem with "I don't think it's necessary or even useful to be concerned about any further balance than already exists." Likewise, "You shouldn't be concerned about any further balance, what we have is good enough." But, "You shouldn't be concerned about further balance [I]because that's the pursuit of perfect balance, which is a fool's errand[/I]," that I have a problem with. It's a hollow non-argument that doesn't actually engage with anyone; it just dismisses anything more strident than the speaker's preferences as the foolish pursuit of perfection. [/QUOTE]
