This is always true, and never more so than when are playing a game that 'sucks' -- from the viewpoint of (some) top-tier competitors.
I didn't like tape measures in 2002. I didn't like minibots in 2011. I don't like intentional litter on the floor this year. I am trying to keep an open mind about canburglars. Like others, I fear there is a wasteful and uninspiring arms race looming.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
