Seriously, though, I get tradition and old school and blah, blah, blah, but why is this only a problem with wish? Why doesn't the same DM rule that fireball does some heat damage to the poor PCs standing next to it, but, of course, not until after the PC casts it?
Like I mentioned above, this style of adjudication might be fine for a one-shot comedy game, but for a normal game, why not just talk to the DM about where the line is instead of guessing while he grins evilly at you? I remember playing this way when I was thirteen, but not since then.
Of course, if both player and DM want to go that route, then fine, but it shouldn't really be a topic for discussion otherwise.
