I still think it is weird to dismiss so easily. Even if everything is up for review, it is still an indicator of what direction Paizo wants to take their game. Baring a collective outcry against a rule, I doubt much will be changed substantially (unless the designers do not feel a rule works after all).
Remember, there has already been a lot of feedback (Assumption, based on what I hear, since I must admit that I no longer spend any time on Paizo's boards), so I guess Paizo have made sure that their design goals coincide with at least a substantial amount of what their fans want.
I didn't mean to dismiss it. That was just my understanding/assumption of how it was supposed to work during Beta. Hence my other questions about how exactly the review and adoption process works. I just want to understand how it all works with the Beta test, and try and get some indicator of where it is going. If you're saying that most of Beta will be in tbe final version, minus tweaks, then I can use Beta as a good guide of where the game is going. Is that the gist of it?
