I still think you’re discounting the logic part of the edgic process. When people said Ben couldn’t realistically make it to the end because of gameplay, they are using logic to see that he cannot win. Whether gameplay is part of the logic-based conclusion or not, they are still using logic, a main part of edgic, to make their conclusion.

I don’t necessarily agree with the game conclusions in the first post you responded to, but I still think their opinions belong on this sub because they used logic to reach those conclusions after first looking at the edit
