Do you think the cycle of endless playtesting for social cred is deeply intertwined with the ills of playtesting for the wrong design reasons which you cite in your original post, Ben? At a glance I would surmise that those are two vastly distinct issues but I might be misreading you. It seems that, although I have never noticed it in my limited sojourns through the community, you have discovered an epidemic of harmful playtesting; but is this epidemic in fact two epidemics springing from different sources (social anxiety and misguided design)?
