One more voice for play instead of teach


Apparently experiments with rats show that the poor creatures that are denied access to playful activities, fail to develop their character. Such impaired rats are claimed to have "cognitive problems, emotional problems and they're socially incompetent," and moreover they appear to "become bad lovers".

This is an interesting update from the Wonderland Blog.

Actually similar claims have been made many times before, notably by Chris Crawford in his Art of Computer Game Design.
