The characteristics of your forebears certainly affects you. Without question. Yet, is this merely the Appeal to Tradition fallacy? I think not.When Darwin's ideas came into the public sphere, the Great and the Good were queuing up to state that their grandfathers were not monkeys! They denied, in the same way you are denying that D&D 5E is in any way affected by D&D 1E, that humans are in any way affected by the primate characteristics of our common ancestor; they were denying that we had a common ancestor!You're denying that D&D is D&D!</blockquote>
