There is guidance throughout the core books, sometimes express, but it is inconsistent and as you point out sometimes seems conflicting.My claim is that 5e tells DMs to do those things without guaranteeing that they will.Many default to traditional modes of play, but 5e gains in return that those modes work, securing ubiquity.I agree that it is right to consider all material in reaching right answers, some material has greater weight depending on question. As to questions about the game system, primary weight is on Core, secondary on errata, SA, XGE and TCoE about equally, and tertiary on published adventures.</blockquote>
