At 48:00, was there a consideration to just take Computers and upgrade twice? Statue is decent but a little weak because the yellows don't really matter and with Computer you unlock the best leader + block him from sci production + enable a good Empire State Building to take next turn.
I think I considered it, but it just doesn't help me much. Gates would be good enough with Scientific Methods already. I don't think it makes that much difference for ESB either (which I don't know if I want to commit to next turn, there might be important cards to take). Denying it to him is a consideration, but it would be a large rock investment for him, and every card I take from a non-discard spot is more chance for a government.
