This time you're bad at reading comprehension. My "silent majority" remark had naught to do with player relationship to the polity being played, it was a comment on my belief that the majority of NESers prefer to be able to play an NES without interfacing directly with a spreadsheet.
That happens to be why it was an edited-in afterthought.
No, actually, you did very much infer it by 1. lumping them all together as if they were one thing, and 2. by calling it the "established system." When you call something an "established system," LoE, that means that everyone agrees that there is a system, which they clearly don't. See, words have meaning. You were tacitly linking it back to the silent majority, which by the way, you also merely
assume exists for spreadsheets, just like you
assumed it existed for an understanding of the relationship. You're 0:1 on assumptions so far.
e: Oh, yeah, and before you get any bright ideas? Since literally nobody has been advocating making players use spreadsheets, if you want to make a poll to prove me wrong like I just did you? It'd need a poll question like "Would it upset you if your mod used spreadsheets to arrive at results in an update, either in part or in full?" P.S. The answer will overwhelmingly be "No," because most of this forum already plays in games that do precisely that.
S.D. always out to tell people they're wrong. Good job bro! Well done.
Nobody asked for your opinion, just like nobody has ever asked for it. Feel free to keep getting involved in things that don't concern you though.
