I've never found any statements by the developers in the entire Next/5e run so far to be disingenuous. And it's not that I don't have a BS detector here, it's just that it isn't going off. Now, there definitely are diplomatic statements made. Often times I think, "Just say X!", but I know that they won't (and I wouldn't either if I were on Hasbro's payroll), because it's just not advisable to tick off your customers to make a point, especially when your job might be on the line.With that said, I actually find the part about not fitting with the overall structure to be interesting--because it hints at a structure that they have possibly already defined (probably after the UA articles, but possibly before and just testing for alternatives), but which I don't know. Is it an idea that bonus spells is meant to be a divine thing? Who knows, but there's something there to know.I think the most encouraging thing I saw though is that he diplomatically hinted that, "people don't always want what they think they want." Which is 100% true, and I'm glad the D&D crew is aware of it and taking it into account.</blockquote>
