I mean it's like in Starcraft. I tend to lose pretty much every match, but those times I win it isn't because I suddenly got better, it's just the other guy is even worse than me. I get no satisfaction from that. I rather get satisfaction from slowly increasing the amount of effort the good players have to put in to defeat me.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
