this whole thread is getting confused and befuddled with a slowly diverging argument. The initial argument is that talent makes the difference between the amazing and the very best. You are guys are now criticizing now that Railey used playcount as a unit of measurement in skill, when he has already indeed said (or implied) that it is not perfect method, and in a sense using that to combat the argument that talent isn't much of a factor, if it exists at all, despite the two being pretty much unrelated. Even if you are not, it is coming off like that. Same with SS-farming and the like, etc. Opinions are opinions, but I am on Railey's side here that talent is a very large factor. Argue that or let people have their own opinions, or else this thread is gonna become a shithole.
Think what you must, and play for whatever reason you want, it really doesn't matter to me. Perhaps Railey may have pushed a certain notion too far, but at the same time, the G&R community has a strong tendency to just shitface anything that just seems blatantly wrong to them, but in general it's with scrubs asking dumb questions. You may think this thread is cancer, but it's slightly more legitimate than the classic how to get better.
