Comment on “D&D was Written by Scrooge, who Died before Reforming”

Thanks for your "Submarine" post the other day responding to my comment. I continue to enjoy Introducing Gameplay's triple whammy of (1) techniques from technical writing applied to clearly explaining what the game rules are (2) criticism interspersed throughout to show how, even though you're the guy explaining the game's "product specs," there are obvious flaws in the product (3) jumping off from that criticism to show places where a DM could or must expand on the written game rules if he is going to provide the players a good game. The second paragraph you quoted from the paladin section today is a perfect example of what makes this compelling reading.
