Yes, for the sake of what we were talking about it absolutely is. Knowing the exact formula can just help identifying how the system fails, it’s not necessary to be aware that a complete failure is happening.
It’s like we were talking about a decapitated corpse in an obituary and you insisted that a detailed police report of what happened to it was necessary to establish if it was dead or alive.
Man... a doctor is needed to declare death for a reason. Because he studied to know that and have the abilities and knowledge about the inner functions of the human body needed to be sure the guy is really dead. Because someone that does not have that deep knowledge could make a false assumption and send a non-deceased guy or one with narcolepsia to the morgue. In the victorian era in UK they made coffins with a bell. it´s the same here, you may suspect the guy is dead, but you cannot be sure without a minimal knowledge about medicine, or in this case, the game, no matter how intuitive and expert the person thinks he is.
So yeah, to me the code used in the game is relevant. The formula and maths are relevant. The opinion of the modders that work with the code daily to make mods matter. 3 years playing Xcom2, for this, not that much.
we all agree that the auto-battle gives better results than manual battle in many cases. I do not really get why do you keep discussing this nonsense. Are you really that bored?
