Nope. Wait a minute, I mean yes! I mean, it depends. If you think the rollercoaster doesn't work, that it's all going to crash on the next bend, wouldn't that terror obviate a fun ride? I mean, if you were fully convinced? I grew up in a society that I was pretty sure was going to crash. It seemed obvious that the Americans and Russians would just keep racing their arms till Armageddon. Sorta put this pall on life. A fuller understanding of the society and the cultural forces at play would have made that particular ride more enjoyable. If you were completely ignorant it could ruin it for you. If you awoke out of a sleep and found yourself swooping and you had no idea why, that would obviate a fun ride. Ignorance isn't always bliss. But if you have full understanding of the situation, and you were consciously choosing your swooping and screaming existence, at that point, I don't see any enjoyment being added by the engineering calcs or a full schematic of the structures of your ride. I take your point.
