Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scott Christian" data-source="post: 8326262" data-attributes="member: 6901101">There is something that people sometimes do; they look back at a time or event and believe they intended something else, when in fact, their intentions were shown in their actions. A boxer who hauls off and hits a loud mouth at the bar, and then later, decides he was doing it to protect the people around him. A dissertation on the positive effects of (fill in something awful), then later, upon reflection, believe they did it because there were no other paths to follow. A doctor giving poor advice to a patient, and then thinking the advice was because of this other extraneous circumstance of the patient. The point is: the boxer was just annoyed not trying to protect anyone. The doctoral student believed what they wrote at the time, and later reframed the actual writing to only having one path. The doctor gave the advice they thought best at the time without ever considering the extraneous variable they now place in their memory.None of these people are liars, nor is Mearls. But, the ranger was as they intended. There is more than one writer, and that makes things even more convoluted. They tested the ranger. They thought it was fun. The feedback they received was just as positive as other classes. They wrote it as intended. Only after the fact, did they decide it didn't fit the parameters, and that is especially true after the negative feedback they received about the ranger.Sorry for the tangent.</blockquote>
