I like some reviews. Others, not so much.
One kind of review I like is when someone performs a review/search to look for an existing on-target thread before starting a new one.
In the case of this discussion, just a few weeks ago this topic was covered rather thoroughly
here. Should we move the discussion back to there so that records of our thoughts are better organized, and so that we reduce duplicated effort?
Or perhaps we should re-open this
2005 thread ?
I haven't noticed any new insights in this thread yet (but, hey, I am only human, maybe I missed one?).
I'm not saying that the topic is dead. I am saying that anyone wanting to make real headway advancing their arguments should add to what has already been discussed. Let's not doom ourselves to repeating the past.
There are plenty of sound technical, game design, and implementation suggestions and objections in the past thread(s). Instead of (re)(re)(re)(re)...discovering them; how about reading, digesting, summarizing, and building upon them?

PS: It's obvious from the (Kennedy assassination) Zapruder film that a bullet drives President Kennedy's head backward when he is shot ... UNTIL, you carefully analyze the footage frame-by-frame, and notice that in roughly the time between two frames a bullet's initial impact drives his head forward, and then during the next few frames his head recoils (relatively slowly) backwards. The devil is in the details.
