Everyone here are absolute saints

Post by S.Taylor »

No one says that what they really want is the best engine they can get, so they can stick with it, with the feeling that it will be as good as they will ever need to use, and can then be confident that they can now turn their attention to other things, like practicing with it, or othe lifely endeavours.
No one would dare say that out of politicasl correctness.
Everyone makes it look like they are content to hang around indefinately as long as they can see constant improvements in chess programming, and that THIS alone is what they enjoy.
I'm sure this cannot be true, because who wants to give up years of his life just watching this developement, when in 30 years time, his great grandchildren will have it all in front of them, and will actually be able to ENJOY the results, without all this heart ache and waiting?
And many of us here are actually buying and buying many versions as they come out, nobely financing the whoile enterprise. And this is their/our service to future generations.
Well, I wish MY thoughts were so pure!

Are you implying that we engine freaks have no life?
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.

No. I'm only expressing MY perspective, and asking how others relate/compare to it.
