Which reveals an important rift in the study of the purpose of play: a
debate among play scholars about how to tell the story of play's possible
short-term and long-term benefits. The flexibility hypothesis imposes one
such story, but it might not be the best story. Just because it's possible
to see
how playing might contribute to a suppler brain and a more varied behavioral
repertory, it does not follow that playing is the only way to achieve
such flexibility. This relates to the concept of equifinality, an idea from
systems theory that says there are usually more ways than one to arrive at
a particular end. The fact that play offers one way of getting to an end need
not mean it is the only way — nor need it mean that getting to that end
is
the ultimate purpose of play.
