i agree.....and ive mentioned it before as well that you cant theoricize anything in guy1 vs guy2 scenarios.....
although this applies to far more than just rock paper scissors.......
rock paper scissors HELPS as a factor in determining the ODDS of an outcome, but anything can happen in a battle of ninjas.

uh oh, looks like hokage-IV is bustin out his big ol' bag of lols [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

edit: ok sorry if im being anal about it, but upon second thought and looking up "theory"....the definition of the word that best suits this scenario would be, the "Abstract reasoning; speculation" meaning of the word. If you're interpreting it from the standpoint of "theorems", where its a series of facts to prove something, then yeah you're right. But I think in the way the word is used, its more like speculation about the most favorable outcomes based on what we know so far.
