You are not factoring in the person having the experience as part of the total picture. You're only describing one half of the equation, and you're getting bad results because of this.
I deal with post-modernists on a regular basis, dude. I'm not going to miss something this basic, it's a mistake they make CONSTANTLY because they have absolutely no respect for a reality existing independent of their perception. This includes, most specifically, their existence, as exists separate from their own perception.
But life experiences aren't measurable either...so I'm unclear as to your point.
And we all deal with post-modernists on a regular basis unless you are in a retirement home. I'm 47 and I'm a post-modernist. This is the post-modern era.
And I'm not going to debate reality/perception on this thread, since that is way, way off topic, but I am also certain that the post-modern creators/stewards of CoH do not regularly have these debates either when designing game mechanics, so any debate on the topic would be irrelevant to this discussion, the OP's favorite build or the relationship between fun and numbers.
