If you're good at games, you DON"T push the system to the limit and go beyond normal gameplay to utterly destroy the competition... Yeah, that's a sane thought.

Min/maxing is not what you think it is. Min/maxing is following a game's system and setup so perfectly that the game is easy. Because it's built around you doing that, just not doin it that well.

Having average stats all around so you can get a bunch of unrelated skills and abilities and synergize them in ways unforseen? That's pushing the limits of a game and breaking it over your knee.
