I think your table tennis analogy is not really applicable. The rule changes in table tennis were presumably motivated by the need to fix a real problem, and really changed the game.
On the other hand, all the rules arguments in Go are really only applicable to incredibly marginal, bordering on imaginary situations. There's no motivation to change the way the game is actually played. With the stakes so low, there's no limit to debate. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
