Well what else would you expect than that it's a game? After all, you get a shiny metal trophy at the end if you keep winning, and you'll keep getting more and bigger trophies afte…

Luckily, part of the value of the activity is being able to question this premise. E.g. where "well what they're saying is not in the box we've been thinking in!" is not treated pr…
