  While I agree, it's not as common sense as you might think. In many games, when people are fighting some hard enemy, and they get an opening where they can choose to either (1) heal themselves so they can survive, or (2) deal a bit of damage with a cool combo, nine times out of ten they'll choose greed (option 2). They give more priority to greeding than to surviving, so they're not even trying to keep their own health above zero. And you (probably) can't deal damage your enemy if your own health is zero. As obvious as this sounds, their priorities are usually backwards. It's more noticeable in souls-like games, but it happens in many other games as well.

  If you limit your attacks to an 8 hour period then you don't need to avoid the attacks or strike back as much though. It magically activates a scientifically unknown mechanism to make the game easier to win. At least that's what we currently believe, some scientists are about to test whether you still need to do the same amount of damage to the bosses health regardless of timing. I wonder what it will reveal?

  A lot of people overestimate the effect of exercise on weight loss. Yeah, obviously you can but it takes A LOT of exercise to have it make a serious impact. A 5k run for most people is not even a Big Mac worth of calories, not a Big Mac Meal with fries and a Coke, just the sandwich.
