Hairsplitting AND hijacking, mdiehl.


Incorrect on both counts. The claim was made that one cannot base a model on a limited number of historical data points. I refuted that claim. The claim was subsequently made by someone else that the game isn't intended to model historically plausible outcomes. Others, and I as well, refuted that claim as well. Perhaps you have a short attention span, or merely you lack reading comprehension skills, that you missed entire the posts to which I and others were responding.

You've made your point-whatever it may be-now can we please let the poor OP flesh out the discussion he originally intended?


You won't hear me mention it again unless someone again claims that it's a game, not a consim, or unless some wingnut says "if you wanted historical plausibility, read a book." If you don't like it when I refute bullshit, don't post bullshit.

Perhaps you can start a thread on the forum and 'bump' it whenever you wished to argue your position on the game vs. sim argument?


Nawp. I'm doing fine in this thread. Thanks just the same.

Sorry, mdiehl. I tried. Not interested in your retread arguments any longer. Green button.

You tried to be an insulting jerk. Congrats, you succeeded.
