Saying stupid things is pretty likely to draw insults. They were obviously warranted here.

If you were paying attention... that's exactly what ape_key was referring to. The problem under discussion is that very similar inputs to the game logic lead to radically different states of the game at a later time. The nondeterminism is what gives rise to the fact that the inputs are "very similar" rather than "identical".
