Careful, lest I set one of my fawning, yet disgruntled and reluctant minions upon thee. (I'm sure the minion in question knows of whom I speak.)
Your reasoned defense is a nice save on your part, after cramming your foot so far down your throat you must have gotten a tummy-ache.
As for geeky game designers prefering tweaks other than to UI as being more enjoyable, that's such a short-sighted attitude. It too readily dismisses the annoying tedium of having to constantly deal with awkwardnesses that rapidly detract from the overall pleasure of other aspects of a game. Inconsistent controls, missing controls (Dom's lack of arrow-key support), poorly placed controls (HoI's tiny '+' controls placed dangerously close to delete controls), controls that aren't smooth (HoI's jumping sliders), controls that require excessive clicking (transferring large amounts of items/cash in Fallout), such things quickly earn the ire of all but truly rabid fans of a game.
