Oh I think research and guesswork is awesome.
I'm just not a fan of the jumping straight to conclusions like: "There are even less blocks than normal" "new GE....fail?" "Maybe there are bugs" "3-2 zone works better than 2-3 zone....which is arcade mode stupid"
You can't draw these conclusions with only 1 game and only looking generally at stuff.
So in the poker metaphor:
If I lose my first hand and the guy next to me starts yelling that everything is rigged, that the CIA is obviously infiltrating the casino to finally get to him. I tell him to relax and play a few more hands first before jumping to conclusions. While at the same time I count the amount of clubs I see as opposed to other suits to check what this change might be about ;).
Crunchy! If you eat fast enough
