Since you asked for clarification, I'll repeat what I said earlier.  Everyone can criticize a product.  No one should personally attack or ascribe pejorative motivations for designers.  And everyone should caution against being an armchair quarterback if they don't have any experience in the actual field.Again, that's not really a fallacy.  Well, actually the fallacy part is once again you making a strawman because I never said that "it can't possibly happen".  I said it's "not an actual problem that occurs."  I.e., I'm not saying it could never happen, just that it hasn't happened.  I made that assessment based on how the AL actually works (like I said when the DM has to keep up to date with communication from WotC which clearly states how to handle this) along with my own experience.  Both anecdotal and objective evidence.  Based on that, I stick with my assessment until anyone, even just one person, can show me where an AL DM forced a player to use the text RAW from the book, it is a problem that hasn't happened.  And even then, my first response would be, "then that is the DM's fault for not keeping up with errata, which is a requirement to DM AL games".Also, he doesn't have any experience with it.  This problem never happened.  He made an assumption.So again, before responding to me, perhaps you should read what I actually wrote and stay off the strawmen please.  They are fattening and not good for your heart.</blockquote>
