Do you honestly think the average human being is busy playing Curiosity?

  Overwhelmingly average human beings, yes.

  Re-read my post. I didn't say the average human being is busy playing Curiosity; I said that the average human is fully satisfied interacting with a Skinner box.

    Re-write your post. You said Molyneux showed something about the average human. You can't backpedal that into a statement not involving Molyneux.

I didn't backpedal; you can change "I said that the average human is fully satisfied interacting with a Skinner box" to "I said that the average human is fully satisfied interacting with a Skinner box, as shown by Molyneux's Curiosity", if it makes you happy, but it doesn't really change anything.

        Kronopath challenged the idea that the people playing Curiosity are in fact average. I don't know if you read his comment as a silly statement regarding billions of people playing the game or something, but there is legitimate argument to be made that the average Curiosity player is far away from the average western citizen. If the average Curiosity player is not even close to an average person (such as what if 80% of them had OCD), then your statement that Molyneux has showed anything about the average person is incorrect. So please, either disagree with Kronopath or point out a flaw in my logic, let's not mess around with semantics and restatements.
