I don't agree with Suyono
at that point:
"If the lpb is given, the player learns nothing".
If a player has lpb - he/she learns how to solve similar levels
and accumulates his/her knowledge.
Many Suyono's levels ( published at pseudonym Yono in JKT )
are actually unsolvable - and he cannot prove that they are
solvable until LBP's are not published.
