“Now, it’s the fashion today to be afraid. … And if you go against this and you are something else, then you’re not in fashion, you’re not in style, you see.
“But I don’t know, I’ll always take the higher point on the Tone Scale if I’ve got to take any fad. Wouldn’t you? …
“I think you, too, would find a scrap and resisting overwhelming odds and so forth, you’d find that was very, very interesting. You’d think that was pretty good.
“Well, that’s merely because of the ‘threat of overwhelmingness’ and a ‘victory against considerable odds’… that game, by the way, goes at about 22 on the Tone Scale, not 2.2, 22 and sort of peters out as a game from 22 on down. About the highest, or I’d say the lowest, point of enjoyment of a game is about 4.0 and after that it’s all got to be sort of internal.”
