Alex & Adam - Getting +1 Wit for Kills: Why it's a really poor change to Outwitters

[worldfamous]

That's about the 5th time I've heard someone say that the developers' goal is to make the game more enjoyable for the casual player. Did they actually say that somewhere or is that an assumption. Hearing that, I inferred that this move was indeed about the money. I know that Alex and Adam have said it's not, and I believe them when they say that. Where is that line coming from? Was it in a beta email or something? Is my inference crazy?
