Rushing with SCV's works every time.

But there's nothing stopping the random strategy from being exactly same as the one where the player has actively adapted to their opponent.

This will be the third time I've asked, and probably the third time you'll gloss over it.
But why wouldn't it be true? If a winning game can be reduced to a series of button clicks, then why wouldn't that same sequence of clicks be able to win as well? Even if the AI adapts differently (again, unlikely), we would still have infinitely many attempts.

If you pick a random strategy to use against an opponent in StarCraft, you will always lose. That's a pretty easily falsifiable statement. All you have to do is compile a list of all possible button clicks and then pick from that list randomly, then proceed to win a game of StarCraft against another player or AI. If you can't do that, then why bother making the assumption that you can? You're just arguing a straw man at this point.

You didn't answer my question.
You can't win games in Starcraft. Okay.

Trial and error does not win you any games in StarCraft. You must intelligently pick a strategy to win, unlike "thinking not required" Dark Souls. The same strategy will always eventually win.
Would rushing with SCVs not win any games in Starcraft?
Only when I do it, though. The true secret of SCV rushing has been passed down to me by a Korean master who has dominated the field of Starcraft for over 200 years.
What about rushing with anything else? Would that not win any games?
