Regardless of misclicking, if you use a chance card and lose it, you lose the card. To quit a game to prevent yourself from losing the card is bad sportsmanship (as it is circumventing the inherent drawback of using chance). If your mouse is whacky, then you assume responsibility for CHOOSING to play with it knowing that random errors could occur.

I'm a psych student myself (just got my B.S. a few months ago) but I didn't need to use it to aruge a case in philosophical reasoning. Ackum's Razor and all that.

An important finding in social psychology is that people trust their own reasoning and judgement to be correct, but their actual abilities do not merit this confidence when put to the test. This is also why a jury of your peers is most definitely NOT a fair and balanced decision making body. They will trust eye-witness testimony more than an analysis of the evidence... and cognitive psychology has found that eye-witness testimony is VERY inacurrate. Something as simple as an eyewitness being attractive or ugly can decide the fate of an accussed man's life.

What was this topic about? Win/Loss records? I'm about half and half. I'm a little behind in wins because my first 20 matches were mostly losses (how else you gonna learn?).
