Please note that I intentionally used the word 'intransigent' thrice in
association with the word 'dilemma'.  I sought (with insufficient
clarity that is my fault) a more thoroughgoing meaning than 'intrinsic'
would convey since a dilemma cannot be driven out of existence via
adjusting the limited factors within one's control to one extreme or the
other.  Ultimate causes can be overlooked with effects misidentified as
causes when trying to minimize game-design problems.

YES, people who seek games which are a mixture of luck and skill, probably
for the purposes of gambling, are after something we do not offer- an
opportunity to wreck their lives!
