Mainly just to get people to stop listening to him as the be-all-and-end-all of rules questions and just inspire them to decide the correct interpretation on their own.I came to this conclusion back in 2015 when the whole "Barkskin" rule debacle happened, and haven't bothered worrying about or using the Errata or Sage Advice documents since.</blockquote>
