Using your same example, the UI of SEIV is akin to allowing the user to infinitely delete a letter that doesn't exist. This is the same as using 2200,2200,2200 resources to build a facility that can never be built.

It doesn't use those resources though.

Yes. It does.

I guess the appropriate Word equivalent to repeat building a facility that can never be finished because the planet is full might be similar to doing a Search and Replace operation that infinitely find and replaces a word that isn't even in the document.

That is a rather poor analogy there. The two functions do nothing that is at all related.[/qb]

Okay. Fine. You build stuff in SEIV. You format stuff in Word. That is about the closest you can get between a game and a word processor. Change that example to be infinitely formatting the same word to make it bold.
