While I applaud the Quackle developers, I sometimes wonder if most
players give too much credence to simulation.  Unless you have the
ability to understand the difference among move choices, looking at
sims is like a dog looking through a telescope-observation does not
equal understanding.

Those who might understand the difference act as "sacerdos Vestalis"
in the simming temple.  The experts will dance about a game board
interpreting what Quackle truly reveals.  Oh, Quackle says this move
is .05 ahead in a 3 ply sim, that must be the truth!  How many people
even know what that means?  Like transubstantiation and microwave
burritos, some things are beyond human knowledge.

But go ahead and deny what I say.  Be happy in your simming
lunkheadedness-as Marlon might say.  Why even go crazy with it.  Port
Quackle to a Sun grid, why don't you.

cpu hour, you could devote a thousand processors for $6.00.  Imagine
how many plies of absorbent sims that would get you.

Zax, QUACKLE????
