The author of that text is working from a different set of a priori assumptions about how a D&D world works. Therefore you are quite correct, from your point of view it does not make sense.This also applies to other races. For example, you have already mentioned how you fixed dwarves to explain their food supply.There is a specific issue with halflings though - Tolkien intellectual property. What WotC is allowed to say about halflings is incomplete, because they cannot include content from Tolkien. It is likely that those people who like halflings are using knowledge from Tolkien to "fill in the blanks".</blockquote>
