How Natural 1s play out in common practice is the critical issue. As a player I have often dealt with my share of GMs over the years who do interpret fumbles along those narrow lines of character ineptitude and silliness. The easy thing to do would be to just label them all bad GMs, but I think that the problem extends more from the wider gaming culture than just GM inexperience or ineptitude. It's why I find the GM Intrusion mechanic more narratively open and a breath of fresh air. It may have always been the case regarding Natural 1s in terms of what they represent, but sometimes it's the little things in the rules that make the difference.</blockquote>
