There is a special callout that if a creature sees you, then you can't hide. Blindsight is not seeing, so that has no relevance. The idea that stealth can't work against a creature with blindsight is the stance that is reading something not there. The written rule is that the DM can decide. That's not just a rule 0 invocation, there is no other preferred approach even presented.Edit to add: you can rule it however you want. I always try and rule by RAW unless I have told my players specifically otherwise, and I do believe in the importance and precedence of RAW over RAI or rule 0. But I truly think the text here is so thin and ambiguous there is no RAW. Without the use of clearly defined terms, it's unclear what "perceive," "surrounding," and "see" mean in strict game terms. So all that's left is a naturalistic rulings-oriented approach. Saying that people who disagree with you are "choosing to ignore" the text is plainly wrong.</blockquote>
