Voted up. However, I disagree with "it's not OK". Everything is always OK. OK is a feature of the map. From a psychological perspective, that's important. If an OK state of the map can't be generated by changing the territory, it WILL be generated by cheating and directly manipulating the map.

That said, we have preferences, rank orderings of outcomes. The value of futures with our values is high.
