[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9023832, member: 7006"] Heh, well there's a reason for that... too many players means nuance gets divided into such infinitesimally small pieces that you can't find anything meaningful in the nuance. Not unless your intention ends up being just taking one individual person's beliefs and use [I]their[/I] opinion as the solution. Even if 10 people all agree on the same thing... all 10 probably have different nuances on how to accomplish said thing or what parts of the thing to focus on. So no designer could then take all 10 of those nuanced things and create something meaningful out of it. All the designers can do (since they have final say) is to take the broad strokes and then [I]they[/I] get to use their nuance to finalize it. So no... nuance in these surveys is pointless. Broad strokes is all that really matters, UNLESS (general) you happen to think you can make cogent arguments well enough in the written section to [I]direct[/I] some of the nuance in a way that you think would ultimately work the best. If you can do that, great... but more often than not even a well-argued point isn't going to turn the aircraft carrier in the water nearly enough to be noticeable. [/QUOTE]
