It IS such a significant time and effort intensive activity. Just as we players don't SEE exactly what the characters would see, we don't FEEL what the characters would feel. The PCs could be in not much better shape themselves, nauseated, tired and bleeding.... intensely thirsty... arms shaking from exertion... in shock. Very easy to forget to perform the very labor-intensive, bloody, not to mention kinda loud activity of looting a buncha hacked-up corpses when all they really want to do is get to a place to rest, heal, and refresh themselves. Perhaps they might be set-upon by reinforcements while they were injured if they stayed. I can think of just as many or more  in-game reasons why it shouldn't be retconned as there are reasons it should. I also feel the reasons against are better than those for retconning, not the least of which I just wouldn't want to open that Pandora's box.</p></blockquote><p></p>
