Sure.  But I still maintain if you can't divide by 2, any number of 
other things in almost any game will defeat you.  Heck, dealing with 
simple things like travel times will defeat you.  There's just a 
limit to the degree catering to people's tendency to not want to do 
the kind of math demanded of most people every day seems to make sense to me.

The reason you hear me say that to myself is I _don't_ have any 
tolerance for it, and I expect more of myself than other 
people.  Personally I think people should be able to add and subtract 
two digit numbers on the fly, and when I can't, it annoys hell out of 
me.  But I'm not even holding them to that high a standard above.
