Why is nudging such a big part of the game?

[QUOTE="HotHamBoy, post: 224131, member: 4638"] Ok, this is a noobish question but I've only been playing pinball for about two years. So why is nudging such an accepted aspect of pinball? Is it to counter the quarter-eating strategies and random variables of the game? Is it becuase you can't really stop people from doing it? Or is it because it's a strategy that goes all the way back to bagatelle? It's been embraced by the pinball designers, which makes me wonder if tables began to be designed with nudging in mind (outside of tilt); like you will certainly lose the ball there unless you know you should nudge. As a new player, I have a hard time incorporating nudging into my game. For one thing, I don't really like doing it because I don't want to break the machine or receive strange looks. But I often realize I need to nudge too late, I lack the anticiption required. [/QUOTE]
