The designers saying something after the fact is them rewriting memories. Sometimes you rewrite it exactly how it happened, and other times you change your it because your perspectives have changed. In other words, it doesn't matter what the designers say about it now, what matters is what they said about it when they were actually testing and playing the game. Isn't it a bit odd that they managed to play in a weekly game at work, play in a weekly game at home, and play sometimes for large audiences, and it all worked just fine? But now, as they reflect on it, it doesn't? If you dislike it, you are free to change it however you see fit. It is the beauty of the game. But to say that this would have tanked the entire game is not an accurate statement. I doubt it would have even moved the needle, as there was too large of a confluence of forces that made the game as large as what it was, and still is.</blockquote>
