RE: Zombies are scientist?!?!

I am glad to see you give up the 'minor flows' language you were skating on in post #27. What you still have to concede is that 'the gameplay decision', if any, is responsible for an indeterminacy along the line I developed in post #28, and not a so-called 'paradox'. It's very different. In brief, a paradox holds when some individually plausible assumptions joinly form an inconsistent set, namely, a set containing some contradiction; whereas a indeterminacy emerges when some assumption A or some assumption B has to be the case, but neither A, nor B can be the case. Bearing this distinction in mind, the reason why it's not a paradox should be clear: fiction admits of no contradiction, but is often indeterminate. Another reason for that is merely heuristic: better be indeterminate than contradictory, because anything can follow from any contradiction, whereas it's indeterminate what could follow from an indeterminacy.
