The game changes as you play it

From The Emerging Revolution in Game Theory from The Physics arXiv Blog.

While the news is interesting and important, if somewhat esoteric, there is a post in the comments which I think is a really striking observation. The author of the article is taken to task in the comments for describing the new discovery as revolutionary. There is a lot of posturing back-and-forth of the nature of "my differential philosophical paradigm is more complex than your differential philosophical paradigm." The comment I liked though was this simple:
This is not a "revolution." You've simply hit upon a fundamental philosophical truth: The game changes as you play it.
