Because this is a social game and people want to see your reasoning. And sometimes whatās a āsimple truthā to you isnāt so obvious to others. Or even if it is obvious in hindsight, it might not have been all along and people like to see when you arrived at seeing it.
Anyway, basically back to it being a social game and explanations are really all we have for understanding your thoughts. But yeah, I kind of get you. I get in moods where I just hate to have to explain stuff to people.
I missed ATNoās post until you quoted it. But yes, this is how I feel about Gorta as well. He goes off on theories without really judging the likelihood for each step. Others do this as well, so not just him. They come up with a theory that looks like it fits all the pieces in hindsight, but they donāt go back to considering the steps and the fact that the people involved couldnāt have known that things would work out exactly like they did.
I very rarely compare peopleās meta from one game to another tbh
Itās not that I donāt think itās reliable, but I think each game is a different case and that things that are objectively AI should be more obvious than having to sift through ISOs in other games. I really only compare old games to current games off the top of my head and not in detail.
