That actually is my argument distilled into a single sentence. (Doug
must be a writer for a living. ;-)
The fact that I could brute-force my roomates high scores off the chart
given enough time and quarters doesn't make me a better player than he
is. (It just proved that I didn't have a life and was a sore loser.
He'd consistently kick my ass at Star Trek too... Bastard. ;-) However,
the fact that I *can* do that makes me think the high-score list isn't a
good metric of player skill.
