That's why these discussions tend to involve a lot of people arguing past each other. You can min-max all you want in this game yet at the same time it's a loosely-tuned game where conventional min-maxing is largely unnecessary. Both sides can be (and are) right at the same time and that leads to the endless circular discussions.

Or, perhaps, true min-maxing in this game takes a different direction than it usually does in this genre. Having the right click items or proc weapons or knowing the oddities of pathing or Z axis glitches matters dramatically more than a few stat points or what race a person picked.

The fact that Min/Maxing isn't absolutely necessary in this game is irrelevant. People should still be able to get the correct facts about the game so they can play how they want. If its fun for someone to play the best tuned race for their class, they should know what race that is, without reading tons of pages of misinformation.

Two sides can't be correct when it comes to how the game works. It either works a certain way or it doesn't. I am not sure what kind of example you have in mind for two sides being right about how a game mechanic works. The only scenario I can think of is if two people have partial understanding of a mechanic, so they both have part of it correct. But I don't remember seeing that on this forum.
