[QUOTE="nothing to see here, post: 2388797, member: 16432"] It's not completely hopeless. Just because something cannot be defined conclusively does not mean it cannot be defined at all. All somebody needs to do is come up with a working definition of "Rules Lite", develop a set of critiera and a matrix by which different systems can be found to be more or less "rules lite"...and use that matrix for the purposes of the study. Such a study would produce some sort of results. Now, of course, it is anybody's and everybody's right to dispute the validity of the original definition of "rules lite", and substitute one of their own. The same goes for the methodology by which you break down different systems. Such debates are the meat and drink that keep many an academic journal alive. But for people who agree with the stated definition of "Rules Lite" the study would still have merit. What we need is somebody will the (insert juvenile reference to male genitalia here) to step out and post A) a definition of "rules lite" and B) a set of criteria by which to compare systems to this definition...understanding fully that not everyone will agree with his/her choices.
