Not to put words in Amphimir Míriel's mouth, but I believe his point is that with a huge chunk of material, a big fat slab of Fluff Text and Crunch text, the majority of the discussion zeroed in and revolved around a single line of text! That's nitpicking. There's an old adage, "You can't please everyone." I'm a firm believer that people, by nature, are pessimistic and will find something to complain about. Because, quite frankly, complaining is fun. It doesn't matter if it's a legitimate complaint, or "That guy was perfect - but I still didn't like his tie". But then, I'm a veteran of political discussions, and so I'm used to seeing complaints for complaint's sake, arguments for argument's sake, and having nothing positive to say whatsoever. Negative thoughts or comments stick out in our mind a lot better than positive ones - that's why if you receive 10 complements and 1 negative comment, it's the latter that will stick out in your mind.And you can't tell me that you have never met someone who always has something negative to say. The perverbial stereotypical Mother In Law whose only complements are back-handed.The "Aura of perception" is no less silly, or ludicrous, than a free Detect Secret Doors. Or Dwarves inherent stonecunning checks, even if your dwarf was born on a boat in the middle of the ocean and has never sat foot below sea level. And yet it's the biggest thing talked about out of all that fluff and crunch.</blockquote>
