Aggression, not violence (Score 1)

It really seems like all of this is due to mischaracterization of the study by using the word 'violence' as an inappropriate descriptor. Violence is more of the end result of a series of actions. It doesn't last very long because for violence to be occuring, there must be a current and ongoing reciever of direct physical hostilities. It seems "aggression," or the initiation of hostilities, would be a much better descriptor, as well as much less incidiary. This all boils down to buzz words. If she was forced to say "Pac-Man gameplay is on average 62% aggresive or hostile" then it would be more appropriate and it would begin to expose the "so what?" nature of her results. It's important to keep in mind this still does not address the problem of the quality or intensity of the aggression; it makes the % number near useless since this issue, like most in the world is not black and white. There is a big difference between the aggression of team sports and a murderer.
