As I note in the intro to the article, official explanations aside, in play it feels like you're dodging each bullet (or in my case, lasers).

My blog has a few related articles on Dodge This, including my own review of my article (recursive, I know), as well as Jake B.'s play report.

But the feel of the rules is what I think the OP was referring to, and they can rip suspension of disbelief right off the table. I wrote the article with that in mind.
