Nobody really is going to use a description they don't like.  The nature of DMing is such that they wouldn't think of using fluff text they don't like.  It just gets ignored, like countless other rules people don't like.  It's inherent to the nature of this game.  No guessing about it is necessary - you've undoubtedly done it yourself.It's not like a driver's license is something you constantly customize and re-tinker and discuss and consider and engage with others, like D&D rules are.  They're just not in the same ballpark of objects and analysis.It's exceptional, that was already proven.  You gave percentages of people who go along with the flow for general life, now compare them to the people in this thread who already didn't do that with this very rule we're talking about.  You already know for sure the percentages don't hold up for this issue.  Why are you pretending that X=Y wen you know X/=Y in this instance? Insisting on a hasty generalization because you're enamored with a psych experiment from a TED talk isn't helpful unless it actually applies.  A DM isn't a passive donor making a decision for the far future that likely will never come up - they're an active decision-maker and judge making choices that have immediate direct impact on them.  That's not the dame kind of choice as the donor.</blockquote>
