This piece sets out to investigate a type of rage the author feels to be universal -- namely, impatience with the competence level of others who you presume to be "on your side". But to me, this rage is first and foremost just a personality trait that I don't like very much in myself or others. To his credit, he does give something of an antidote in the section on "symmetrizability" -- but I don't think this is particularly novel. Surely most people have ingrained this as a habit by adulthood?

The author analyses many sides of this rage, but misses an obvious one: Perhaps, if you already know that you don't enjoy playing a joint game with someone who turns out to be insufficiently competent by your standards, and experience tells you that things often do turn out this way, then you should spend less time playing a game like Bughouse with strangers online. I realise Bughouse is only intended to be an example that applies to other situations -- but even in those other situations, opting out often is an option, and sometimes it's the right one.

(I won't be playing Bughouse because it sounds like the most stressful thing I can imagine, possibly after being an air traffic controller.)
