Noted. I led with that because of its direct relevance to the OP, but it does seem to be getting me pattern-matched to people who disdain play styles other than "kill everything as efficiently as possible" (although I think that most people who allegedly hold such views are, in fact, straw men).

I don't, however, think that I ever said or implied that the people involved are worse than worthless... in the OP, "worth" in that phrase refers to effectiveness value of actions, not... people.
