And... Wish is Titania... lol.

Wish is just the vessel for Titania's soul ... there's a few parts in Edifice where she "demons out" and is obviously not herself, if I recall correctly. So Wish is actually a different person with both souls inside of her (I think)

but they still will skip battles if there's a "skip battle" option, because they have no self control and it will be more enjoyable for a brief moment.

(citation needed)

'We remove discriminative stimuli when we turn away from a stimulus which induces aversive action. We may forcibly look away from a wallpaper design which evokes the compulsive behavior of tracing geometrical patterns. We may close doors or draw curtains to eliminate distracting stimuli or achieve the same effect by closing our eyes or putting our fingers in our ears. We may put a box of candy out of sight to avoid overeating. This sort of self-control is described as "avoiding temptation," especially when the aversive consequences have been arranged by society. It is the principle of "Get thee behind me, Satan.'

Skinner, B.F. Science and Human Behavior, Chapter XV p. 233

That doesn't actually back up your point. It proves the opposite of your point - that you would actually go put the cookies away to avoid eating them. Try not shooting yourself in the foot with your next citation, mmmkay?

they probably don't ever think about what is and isn't fun

That's a little exaggerated, no? People who play games want to have fun and know very well what's fun or not, I'd even say they're the experts in that field, and, as game goes, it's on the contrary the ONLY thing they think about.

EXACTLY. Even if you've never played a game before, within a few attempts at something (combat, crafting, puzzles...) you are already forming an opinion of whether you like it or not.

You form opinions about what you are experiencing very rapidly. You could have only fought 5 battles in the beginning of the game and already be on your way to deciding if you like or hate the battle system. If combat is tedious and you can skip it, you will. If skipping combat bores you, you won't. This is interaction design 101.

you should realize you're talking about skipping bosses (which DOES give the reward, since the reward for fighting the boss is unlocking the next part of the game) including the final boss.

This seems like a stupid, extremist hyperbole. I don't know why you would include combat-skipping as a mechanic to ease the player's experience (

It's not out of disgust for the game, or wanting to "cheat" the game. It's because they want to explore the environment, hear the music, speak with the NPCs, and see how the story unfolds!

) but then take it to the illogical conclusion of being able to skip the game's final boss. whut

everything's too complicated to have just fallen together randomly

Typical fallacy of the human mind.

Math concepts are about as hard fact as you can get. You could reshape the universe any way you want, and it won't change the principles of math. It could change their applications, but the basics would remain the same.

Lots of Lovecraft stories feature non-Euclidian geometry - that is, a mathematical basis to reality that creates forms and shapes in dimensions the human mind is unfamiliar with and unable to grasp. Lots of his horror comes from not just the unimaginable but the literally unknowable and incomprehensible.

On a more agnostic note, if there IS any kind of supreme being or creator etc, I FIRMLY believe the human mind is completely incapable of properly understanding or perceiving the truth around it. Any guess we could possibly make must be wrong. Sort of like non-Euclidian geometry. If you stared into the truth, you'd go insane. MAYBE THOSE MAD PROPHETS WERE ONTO SOMETHING
