While starting from the Real world and going to a fictional world is possible and quite simple, it is not possible to take the trip in the opposite direction without expending energy in intrepretation, making unprovable assumption and accusing someone of something hidden in its thoughts.Some aspects of races in dragonlance are similar to stereotypes. And so? Everything is similar to something. They are called TROPES. Saying that gnomes are similar to a stereotyped version of scientist could be a fact. Saying that MW&TH where thinking and criticizing about scientist when creating gnomes is your assumption and must be proven. No way I must change it BEFORE you have proven it. What I consider very stupid in this revisionism is that is done firstly to avoid accusation, and nobody cares if this accusation are rational and proven. Who simply change to avoid problems with someone, just in case. I find it asphyxial.</blockquote>
