I would play Sim City for the sole purpose of destroying it with all the various disasters. Kind of fucked up now that I think about it.

It's not that one's better than the other, it's just that the idiom was originally one way ("couldn't"), and then everyone kept saying it wrong until it sounded right, just like with "literally." Logically, you're argument is unsound and historically incorrect, but trying to argue against the evolution of language is futile and ultimately regressive. So you say it however you want, old idioms are lame anyway.
