RE: Update on Simplicity: Cutting Complexity with Steem 0.17.0
Game Theory is not used to shut down conversation. It is to put into context of understanding that WANTING something means you need to think of possible ways that can be EXPLOITED if it is given to you.
Not in this case. Game theory is mathematical. Saying "we decided to keep n^2 because game theory" is exactly a way to shut down conversation, and its not real game theory at all. its just avarice masquarading as it.
Sure... people do that a lot. Yet that is not Game Theory shutting it down... that was actually an appeal to authority fallacy being employed. Much like saying "that is heresy". It didn't actually make Game Theory the source of the problem. It is people accepting appeals to authority and giving in that is the issue.
