Re: [LaserTank] LPB File access
1. LaserTank solutions are not unique.
If one of them is shown, it's just one
possible creative product of a solver
that can be different with the author's
intended solution.
2. There's no proof that the solution is
optimal. If the lpb is published, it
opens the possibility that the new GHS
winner couldn't solve the level by
himself/herself. He/she just improved
the given lpb.
3. If lpbs of certain levels are
published, the new members in the future
may lose interest solving those levels.
Those levels become dead levels. Solvers
of all times should have the same chance
and excitement in solving the levels and
breaking the records.
4. Many levels are so difficult not
because they use complex trick. See
LaserTank #0040 "Down the Drain" for
example. Every player knows the rules,
but he/she may have difficulty solving
it. If the lpb is given, the player
learns nothing. (Compare to playing
tutorial levels like Tutor.LVL and
Tutor-with-Playbacks.LVL.) People are
too curious to see something they don't
know.
5. There are more than 13,000 levels
available. We can choose many good
levels, which are suitable to our
brain's capability.

Of course there are other opinions in that search result, but I happen to agree with most of what Suyono says, so you will have to look for the others yourself. 8-)
