                                    > Because there is no such thing as a finished thought. You can ALWAYS look
                                    > at something from a different perspective and see something new and
                                    > worthwhile. Common wisdom is a finished thought. It's a bumper sticker
                                    > slogan's worth of "deep thought" that is anything but. Common wisdom
                                    > prevents people from looking outside the box, or worse, trying to get
                                    > others to look outside the box. They will always retort with "If it
                                    > weren't true, it wouldn't be common wisdom" - which is, itself, common
                                    > wisdom, and I should add, wrong.

                                    > of ideas. The devil's advocate. Common wisdom is biased intelligence. It

                                    But if you don't stop that process /somewhere/ you'll never have a
                                    finished game, either :P
                                    
                                    I agree that there is always an improvement, a change, a tweak to be
                                    made somewhere. But at somepoint when making an actual game for other
                                    people to play, you have to say, "Enough!" and release the damn thing.
                                    
                                    So when is it good enough? *ducks and runs*
