Oh, I understand that. I was just being amused that it seems it's always the 
  parts I'm stuck on that get skipped. ;-)

It's often better when there's actual pointages to be gained, like loot in 
Thief, because then someone will do a speed run in which they pick up all 
the loot, just to prove they can.

Of course. You *do* get some good play hints, like how to work with minimal 
ammo etc, since nobody wants to go out of their way to pick up more ammo.
