There's another way of looking at this as well.
You have thirty years of publications. Thousands and thousands of pages of material to draw from for D&D, not counting any third party stuff. Just TSR and WOTC stuff.
How can you possibly have a definitive version of the game from that? Dozens, if not a couple of hundred, authors, spread across three decades all designing stuff with very little guidance for the most part; virtually no centralized concepts that were being maintained and there should be a "one true version" of D&D?
It never, ever existed.
