It's generally more basic than that. It's generally you make random choices without absolutely any scouting after the first drone scout. And then each time, and a big number of times, you make spot on the right choice without seeing anything.
It's not just reacting to what your scout see or don't see, but reacting without any sort of information.
Meatex, I will watch the replay when I'm back home tonight.
I disagree, I sometimes respond to things that I don't see coming simply for the fact that there is a potential that it is coming. Isn't that what being a safe player is all about? Maybe this accused player just likes being safe on 4 cannons and not dying to Roach rushes. You don't know that. Does me making cannons at my mineral lines after a roach push to prepare for a muta switch make me a hacker? He could easily be continueing massing roaches or going another tech, I cannon up because without so a muta switch would end the game, this is simply playing safe. It would be nice with perfect information, but without it I can only make guesses on imperfect information WHICH WILL KEEP ME ALIVE. I recall MC blindly making 3 cannons and a Stargate to defend Idras Hatch cancel all ins in a particular MLG. Does this make MC a hacker? Or does MC see something we don't see or perhaps simply being safe?
What constitutes as "information" varies from person to person. People may gather information from various places/experience. Therefore some people may not be as playing blindly as you think because of their indept knowledge at what might happen at certain times. I remember a period where I never scouted in PvT because I had a build that universally stopped everything.
