Okay, I'll bite... (Gaming)

Disagree. I can name a hundred hand-crafted games with less-than-perfect design... and a thousand more with really crappy design.
And I can name zero games with design handled 100% by algorithm that have good design. Of course there are bad designers out there. But I can name hundreds of games that have amazing design, which are completely the result of a human touch.
Yeah, can you name a game that has NO algorithms in it? Games are made with human hands and algorithms. That is just what it is right now. You are arguing that we need to stay with human hands, which will make games better. They are just arguing that games need to be progressed by giving more control to algorithms as oppose to human hands (that I know from personal experience can only do so much). They aren't saying that EVERYTHING is procedural. That can't be done right now. It's that simple. Maybe one day that is a possibility, but not right now.
Y'all need to stop thinking so black and white. Although I love lurking in on your debates about such things, sometimes you guys needs some perspective :-)
