As a concrete example, there's the concern about tech progression being too fast, largely on the basis of quill18 moving through the tree quite quickly. But how much of this is down to the vicissitudes of the particular game he's playing? Eurekas would seem to greatly expand the range of possibilities for tech progression speed, depending highly upon the situation you find yourself in. And is quill18's ability necessarily reflective of the ability of other players? Perhaps he's practiced enough at the game that he's playing at a deity level, in which case progressing through the tech tree quickly would be quite expected. None of this is to say that the observation is wrong, because those considerations I mention might not be at all operative. But until we actually get our hands on the game, en masse, it's a theory awaiting confirmation.
And to be clear, I don't think the views you have presented are presumptuous at all, for the most part, and I certainly think the formulation of hypotheses is a great way to respond to what we've seen so far; I'm just responding more to the theoretical point about what sort of conclusions we can validly draw at this stage, and how much we should reserve judgment.
About raising concerns I mean.
