Wait you're joking right?
If "No mention of Asian butterfly's affecting climate change" implies "Asian butterfly's affecting climate change" is wrong, then "No mention of topkilla's correctness" implies that "topkilla is wrong". Either way, you're wrong
Also, here's a very good article. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/th ... r-scissors

Use paper on the first throw next time you play RPS and you'll beat your opponent far more than 33% of the time (on the first throw) (only works against novices, but most people are novices).
I would hope that you would be able to understand the difference between gameplay mechanic relationships and player psychology, but that seems to be too much to ask.
Psychology is part of the game. Someone who is better at manipulating their opponent will obviously win, so this game is not perfectly balanced, and especially because humans play this game, and humans are not perfectly balanced. Like I said, nothing can be perfectly balanced except for mental things, like maths. We can say that 1+1=2 because axioms which define the natural number systems state that the previous equality was true. But we can't say that RPS is balanced because it isn't a mentally defined thing. It exists in the natural world. It's a bit like how we can prove things in maths but not physics, hence the words 'theorem' and 'theory'.
Also they are quite good when you do not have many drillers: in my last game I had 3 generals but my opponent had 700-800 drillers, 3 kings and 2 smugglers.
