[QUOTE="Iku Rex, post: 3231350, member: 752"] You're assuming that every question that might touch onto the core rules will be put in the "Sage" section. That's not a very likely assumption. A few examples (chosen quickly - I'm sure I could find better examples by carefully combing the FAQs): A question about a psionic weapon ability? Hand it to Bruce Cordell. Simple. Except the answer happens to be the only one in the FAQ dealing with stacking of temporary hit points - very much a "universal" concept. Even if you made the answer shorter and less informative you should still expect it to be consistent with the core rules and other FAQ answers about temporary hit points. Another one: Question about Forgotten Realms specific prestige classes? Hand it to the Forgotten Realms guy. Simple. Except that the answer to the seemingly specific question actually involves "universal" rules regarding spell-like abilities. Another one: Question about an OA specific feat (3.0)? Ask the OA guy. Simple. Except the answer very much involves the core grapple rules. If "the OA guy" differs with the Sage regarding how they're supposed to work contradictions are likely to occur. I'm sure I could find more examples, but hopefully you get the point. Having one guy in charge has no real drawback (if he asks the right people for advice), and the advantage of consistencey.
