OK, so, at the risk of being a villain... Has anyone else ever hedged a BN?
I mean, you have a SLEW of koans, and maybe you been drinking or whatever, and you realize that you've left the students floundering.
I have, yes, checked the proofs and rewritten the koan to hopefully salvage a game.
I consider this behavior to be totally in the spirit of the game, while utterly in violation of its core rules. Masters, at best, can hope to learn from their students. Students, at best, can realize that the game doesn't need a Master.
Namaste....
