GAH! Advantage/disadvantage is never actually like +/-5 at any point on the scale. It has a similar OUTCOME at 11 as a normal roll with a + or - 5, yes, but having a similar outcome is not at all being the same thing. And that difference becomes very apparent the further from the center you get.
Sorry, pet peeve when people try to turn a normal distribution into a shifted flat one. You hide information for no added clarity. It's a disservice.
What other meaning of “like” is there in this case, other than a similar outcome?
