It’s your approach that has created the problem.You could have followed the logical approach and assumed that because trees and some plants and some animals have survived that maybe that Pre-dawn isn’t quite as atrocious as you think it is. But instead you’ve tried to set yourself up as an authority on fantasy world arctic sunlight. As such, you’ve created a rod for your own back and it’s the reason there’s maybe not a lot of sympathy for this position.Not so. Your way is not wrong. Wanting a more lifelike and understandable world is laudable. However you are an expert in arctic weather conditions. You have access to the Enworld Forums and you’re a smart guy. Fix the problem as you clearly have the capability.A physics professor shouldn’t complain to lay people about how annoying it is that the typical episode of Star Trek doesn’t conform to the laws of physics and how the makers of Star Trek are waste-men for not making more scientifically accurate episodes. Expressing dismay that all the lay people that just enjoy a good story don’t have a bigger issue with this.The difference is that with IWD the physics professor actually gets to re-write the Star Trek script and put on their own show! What’s to complain about?</blockquote>
