[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 6208948, member: 221"] You really do have a problem not jumping to conclusions based on your biases don't you? Most of us are in agreement that the demon is a viable means by which a caster can acquire a certain type of wish. The whole, "the demon has already cast a wish," is just a possibility (and a funny one) but nobody has said that the process will never work. The actual primary disagreement seems to me to be whether the ability of the caster to bargain for a wish is equivalent to the caster being able to cast a wish using a low-level spell. The argument as to whether the spell will always work as intended is a secondary argument and I don't think anyone has actually posited that it should, so there is no actual disagreement here. By conflating the two arguments you are misrepresenting the actual positions of those that are disagreeing with you. This is called a strawman. [/QUOTE]
