As much respect as I have for him, his personal opinion cannot change the rules.   If he convinces the rest of the Rules Council or WOTC R&D,  and they publish errata on it, then the rules will be changed to match his opinion.  Until then, the rules take precedence over his opinion.  (Although any DM can of course alter the rules for his home game.)</blockquote>
