Isn't that for the members of the audience to decide for themsleves?  
You can't tell someone they haven't enjoyed a painting because they  
didn't decode the artist's mother's Catholicism. If they just likes  
the colours, that's OK, isn't it?


"In ARGs, we have situations where people are generating these
things having NEVER actually played one fully"

Aieee! The anarchy! Two words, Mark: Sex Pistols.
