that's a style of playing that definitely makes some games more enjoyable, but it's really hard to go from trying really hard to win -> taking a game more chill. i suspect if that group banned calculators and implemented a time limit everyone would be frantically trying to do the math in their heads in the allotted time. it's like games that have revealed information (discard piles etc.) that you can't check at will, it makes us frustrated because we instinctively want to try to memorize all of it.
