Concision seems like it should be a word for that which is made concise rather than the brevity itself. An incision is the cut made by incising.
If the goal is to spend less time with the diminishing returns of gaming, it could be effective while utilizing their interest and experience and possibly inspire other creative projects.
I'm not sure insulting people is the most effective way to win them over to your perspective.
You seem to attribute to character flaws what is more commonly just practical decisions.
Those are real reasons though.
"An apostrophe followed by "s" was often used to mark a plural;[4] specifically, the Oxford Companion to the English Language notes that
There was formerly a respectable tradition (17th to 19th centuries) of using the apostrophe for noun plurals, especially in loanwords ending in a vowel (as in ... Comma's are used, Philip Luckcombe, 1771) and in the consonants s, z, ch, sh, (as in waltz's and cotillions, Washington Irving, 1804)..."

Next time you should try using the Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn setting.
EMP, MRI, or what about anti-nanobots? If you can program nanobots that kill people with particular DNA, couldn't you program nanobots that target other nanobots? I would assume they hadn't yet built in a self-defense protocol for the nanobots since they were cutting edge and not assumed to have any countermeasures yet. Anti-nanobots seem just as plausible as DNA targeting nanobots.
