Not just that. I'm not an expert, but from what I read, some DRMs will encrypt assets and critical game logic and let them be decrypted in real time on a virtual machine so that they aren't directly extractable from memory.

One historical explanation is that it was due to the popularization of sales culture in the 20th century which began around the 1920s, and greatly accelerated after WWII.

Another historical explanation, as has been mentioned by other commenters, is that it was due to the popularization of African American culture.

But of course, they are just two of the many plausible historical explanations.

This was one of the explanations that I find elucidating as well, but just now I realize that the change from 1/3 as an estimate to 1/2 is exactly the result of absorbing new information, which makes this explanation unsatisfactory.

Thanks!

Pity that I guess I won't be able to understand the papers linked in the foreseeable future.

This reminds me of my layperson puzzlement:

Can we apply and verify the results from CERN experiments beyond experimental settings? If we can't, how can we know the results from CERN experiments aren't just artifacts of the experimental apparatuses?
