Zen's argument was that since level-makers rely on tileset-makers, their job must inherently be easier. He seems to be working from the assumption that the earlier state in any such chain is always more difficult, but this is inaccurate. Painters rely on paint-makers. Is making paint inherently more difficult than using it? Of course not. This highlights the flaw in Zen's reasoning.

No, my statement wasnt meant to be so generalized. My point was that a level maker's medium was art, itself. He's using somebody else's art to make his own. I dont have the same respect for the person who "made a level" as I do for the person who "made that level possible" through their own forsight and creativity.
When you see a well made level, say on Zenkou (
), do you think "wow the LAT who made this level is very talented" or do you think "wow the GAT who made the tiles and trees etc on this level is very talented"?
