[QUOTE="Felon, post: 6399340, member: 8158"] Like studies on the harmful effects of salt or diet sodas and so many other things, it cannot distinguish between correlation and causation. Having said that, most people don't know how to react to things that run contrary to what they want to hear. For every mean-spirited troll, there's a passive-aggressive Princess Unikitty. If you don't have a Chicken Little screaming the sky is falling, you have a Henny Penny who will insists everything is fine and dismisses any criticism directed at anything. Go to the D&D 5e forum and suggest that something about a class or a rule or a spell or what have you might be out-of-whack, and you'll get no shortage of people who clearly just don't want to hear that anything in 5e is anything less than sublime. We in the first world are becoming a people who are not ashamed to reject reason in favor of impulsive gut reactions. There's a filter of rational scrutiny that fewer and fewer people can't bother to apply. [/QUOTE]
