That’s a great example to raise, and I think you’re right to point it out.

Any field is susceptible to cargo-culting, especially ppl who are just trying to get their job done so they focus on having to rediscover everything their leaders are claiming to have verified.

But for the specific claim you’re challenging, it’s hard to really convey the realities without having some experience in those problems.

High level it really comes down to:

1. Relaxing some generic constraints to apply game specific ones

2. Fine grained control over execution, again by relaxing some constraints

3. Game programming can play fast and loose with a lot of things for the sake of speed; this is not generalizable
