If we ARE going to use anecdotes, at least mine is supported by the official tools we had available at the time, whereas your anecdote depends on ignoring said official material. After all, why would a player ask the DM what AC they hit unless they ignored the character sheets available at the time that did that for the player?
Well, I'm not going to presume that a majority of groups actually used published character sheets, so, umm, I'll stick to the notion that my anecdotes are just as valid as your anecdotes.
To be fair, nobody has carefully explained to me that subtraction is really hard yet.
Granted, I only played AD&D from about 1981 to 2000, but, hey, multiple countries and a couple of continents later, including players from lots of different countries, I'm not sure that I really buy your anecdotes.
