You are right,  the MM is not sophisticated precisely so it does work fine for newbs and low level parties.  I think the assumption (seemingly faulty in your case) is that if you have a veteran party,  they would likely have a veteran DM.  Or if it is a low level group,  as they level, the DM will gain knowledge and experience.  Then in either case that DM would have the ability and imagination to fit the game to their specific party without writing out every last detail.  At the very least they would have the sense to not do what you do.You can call me an apologist all day long,  the simple fact is that my games, whether it's a group of low level newbs or the high level veterans, works perfectly fine with what they have given me to work with.</blockquote>
