No, I mean how you have to use words like "pretentious" and "intuition" and "concede" all the time. Oh, now "erudite". Have you ever read George Orwell's
Politics and the English Language? If not, you really should.

The art of sports games is the art of war; leadership over your team and strategy to beat the other side. Even real sports are like war; sure, nobody's dying, but people are still fighting and strategizing and leading each other and somebody comes out the victor in the end.
Duck Hunt is still the art of war. You're strategizing where the ducks are going (since they do kind of zig-zag), and killing them like a soldier would his opponent (I've never said I thought it was
great art, and in fact I think it's a horrible game)
