It's clear that the notion of the rules being maleable and even optional, particularly with regard to D&D, makes some people fussy.If someone talks to me about a problem they're having with the rules, the first thing I'll suggest (if they're sure it's a problem) is to houserule it.
I think it's human nature to want to compare, contrast and criticize, but it's hard to nicely label and objectively critique something as intangible as D&D.
My new favorite phrase: it is what it is.
