What do you mean by "high level winning?"

I understand the point you're trying to make by comparing social skills to algebra (which, maybe not so ironically, I find very difficult), but as far as I know, there isn't any subjectivity to algebra. You either know it or you don't. There are right answers and wrong answers. Are there objectively right and wrong answers to social skill problems?

Again, I didn't disagree with your suggestion that this type of discussion be moved elsewhere. I just don't think stigmatizing it as somehow exasperating does ANYONE any good.
