The opinion of a WotC employee is made more valid if it is posted on the WotC website than it is if it were, say, posted on EN World. The Rules of the Game, for example. But since that opinion isn't in one of the "official" forums (say, Errata), then it isn't "written in stone" so to speak (probably b/c the Errata would be HUGE! if it included every little clarification). But the fact that WotC allows the statement to remain is a tacit indication of it's acceptance as correct. Otherwise, it wouldn't be allowed to remain on the website.Posting on EN World, while extremely useful, is not as valid (IMO) as what WotC employees post on the WotC website. There is no official D&D overseers for EN World; it's a private forum. So anything someone says on EN World, whether they are a WotC employee or not, doesn't have the official "seal of approval" of WotC (unless WotC has said it does).Go back and read the last part of my original post. It's not about whether you think it's "correct" or not. It's what WotC has chosen to go with, for better or for worse. You may disagree, that's fine. But the ultimate arbitrator is WotC and I'd recognize that as "official" before I ever recognize something from another source. Again, that doesn't make it "right". I'm just talking about who/what has the higher authority. And if it comes down to a battle of opinions, that's what matters.</blockquote>
