Well, that's a matter of interpretation resulting from a lack of actually saying it, inflection and such. I would have said it in my normal nerdy way like I'm describing an inch worm or something, though you've never heard that so you wouldn't know. No, I wasn't angry at anything.

I explained the flaws in the system assuming it was understood why it's a problem to have it on. The reason is simple. I don't like getting hints. I've been taught this "gamer's code" of sorts by my mother, who, loving to play pc style adventure games and RPGs, would NOT take ANY advice of ANY kind no matter HOW stuck she was. I am the same way now, and I wouldn't change that for anything. Nothing's like knowing you did something or solved some puzzle without ANY help whatsoever. The hint system is similar to a few games I've played, PC adventure games, where there's a hint keeper or something of sorts built in. I'd avoid using it no matter HOW frustratingly stuck I was, most of the time, ONLY resorting to a hint if I had been stuck for a long LONG time, I'm talking 3 days to a week or more here. You see, that's my problem. I wanna solve things myself, no help at all. "Not a WORD or I'll send you kids to bed right now!" as my mom once said :D.

"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)
