I'm inclined to agree with this isolated point, but I use it instead to support my opinion that the spirit of the rules remains important. If the designers can't get things to work the way they ought to, then it's a task the DM ought to take on, in my view. I realize my view is not universal....it's been long established that WotC doesn't know its own game and 3e-as-playtested and 3e-as-played rarely match up anymore....
