Sigh.
I get how easy it is to attack on the internet. And it can be fun, too. But you've been asked a question, and you keep dodging it. I don't feel this is constructive any more.
It's clear you are not even reading the post you are responding to:
* "e.g." does not indicate an assumption; it points to an example from a setting, that we both know could be easily replicated.
* if you don't want to use WOTC 5e published materials, then please indicate why and what you would consider a fair substitute.
* And yes, I did explicitly make an assumption. Please (please!) feel free to challenge it -- it was something specifically designed to give your argument the benefit of the doubt. I am pretty sure that ANY OTHER ASSUMPTION strengthens my case.
If you are unable to counter against two orders of magnitude, I am quietly confident that there is no need to proceed further.
I would of course welcome an honest and substantial answer. But no more sniping. It's just not needed.
