[QUOTE="Yesway Jose, post: 5636742, member: 6679265"] Look, I summarized my opinion and ended with "Take it or leave it". You decided on neither, and attacked my opinion about what you claim to be an issue of "cold hard fact". I refute that it is fact, because hidden but unrealized/solvable problems do not need to be fixed, and I see no evidence that DMs were crying to TSR/WoTC about Zones of Truth destroying their game, so I think you're getting apoplectic over a non-issue. Much more importantly, however, I was frank and up-front that I had neither the time nor inclination to face off a multipronged debate, including tangents about the exact degree to which 3E worldbuilding has been playtested, not to mention how tangential it is from the central topic of this thread. Have you aggressively attacked everyone who failed to substantiate their opinions to your satisfaction and, failing to do so, acknowledged to you that it's unsupportable even they disagree or just don't care to argue about it, or do you only narrowly focus on me because you don't like my opinion? If we were all equally in-your-face aggressive about demanding that nobody is allow to have an opinion about "matters of fact" and subsequently attempt to prove the factuality of that opinion, thus nullifying the whole point of stating "I think" or IMO or "It's my opinion that...", then I guarantee you that this thread would not be much fun for anyone.
