Yes, we're doing something wrong! For some inconceivable reason, we've chosen to frame our interaction in the most competitive, imbalanced manner possible. If we wanted to have fun, we should have picked an activity at which we were more-evenly matched, or which wasn't competitive by nature.

Social interaction is not an intellectual competition.
