Foragerwhile True: learn()
Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 0
Forager leans harder on execution: Click-and-walk inputs, no dexterity ceiling
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 2
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization8 vs 9
while True: learn() leans harder on optimization: Building accurate, cheap pipelines is pure optimization
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
