"The biggest mistake WotC ever made was giving the source code for 3rd edition rules to its fans" isn't correct.  The biggest mistake is not properly following it themselves.  They aren't supposed to be magicians protecting the secrets to some cheap illusions.You know, this whole thing seems like going to school for years and finally opening your own retail business, then hiring your high school math teacher to run the cash register.  (In this analogy each creature block is like a day and each indovidual stat within a creature block is like a transaction.  It only takes one bad transaction to make the day wrong, and all of those bad days add up.)  Should you expect the register to come out right every day?  I think so.  Should it bother you if every once in a while it's slightly off at the end of the day?  Maybe.  You certainly have a right to be bothered, I suppose.  If the register is off every day, or almost every day, then I think you have a right to complain vigorously.  I'd have to certainly wonder how much the person ringing my register cares about their job, and cares about me, since I happen to kow that math really shouldn't be an issue.  I'll bet if the cashier's paycheck was miscalculated every time it would get noticed.The problem, the biggest mistake, isn't that we were taught how to do the math.  The problem is that we are being asked to give money to someone who we know has math skills but just can't seem to be bothered to apply those skills.</blockquote>
