Those aren't the only two possibilities.  Believe it or not, some
games (not including Chess) can both be well fought and end decisively
- every time!

Who said I was only interested in the bottom line?  I'm interested in
robust games (again, not including Chess).

Let's take it to the extreme and imagine that instead of 80% draws
among experts, you have 100% draws among intermediate players.  Not
too farfetched since games like that do exist.  Would you find that
entertaining?
