  1. Okay, then is shooting peoples exposed broadsides also for arseholes? I mean killing them doesnt sound like a nice thing to do... Showing broadside to battleship guns are on the same level of misplay as putting yourself into a situation where you cant evade a ram, should one of these misplays be punished and not the other?

    Brave Sir Robin ran away. Bravely ran away away. When danger reared it's ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Brave Sir Robin turned about and gallantly he chickened out...

    winrate - absurd and no logic in it

    Well, i guess what im asking is: Have you actually collected scientific proof of this? Because our minds arent in any way shape or form a working basis for deciding if something is true or not, neither yours or mine. Our minds are by nature extremely confirmation biased among about a million other weaknesses. My point is simply that i fully believe that you believe what you state, but unless you have done an actual objective analysis, you shouldnt believe it, because our minds are not trustworthy. For example you might have a good run of games during a vacation and think "hey, its much easier to win during vacations" and then every time you get a high winrate during a vacation you go "yeah, this totally confirms it, vacations are the time to play" while your brain is subconsciously ignoring every time you get a bad run of games during vacation, or a good run during working time. Our brains aren't reliable.

    It might be true, it might not be, but you cant tell that by feeling or the extremely circumstancial evidence you have. You severely understimate our brains tendencies for confirmation bias, thats why it is important to question everything we believe until faced with evidence. Just as important as it is to be able to change your mind given new evidence.

    Actually playing against players with higher average skill is more complicated than that. A higher average player skill means more close games and less rofl-stomps. If you are a potato, it is easier to maintain a high winrate in roflstomp teams, because you get carried by the automatic wins, and you couldnt have carried close losses anyways, so the automatic losses dont hurt you. If you are a unicum, those automatic wins are a waste to you, because you could have carried every close win anyways. And furthermore you can easily carry the would-be close losses that you dont get as many of in rofl-stomps. automatic wins/losses represents games that even the best players cant do anything about, so it normalizes their wr towards 50%

    Yes, golf can be taught - it's just that it can't be learned.

    We're sorry to bother you at such a time like this, Mrs. Twice. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then.

    Alright, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
