Does WotC really think bounded accuracy is still a good idea? Hasn't it been mathematically repudiated enough times?

Yes it has.

A scaling bounded accuracy was implemented in 4e, and I think that is one of the big reasons a lot of people didn't like it. I know it is the reason my group and myself stopped with 4e. Its just silly.

The sad thing is that a non scaling bounded accuracy that they are using in 5e is even worse then the scaling one. So whatever fancy stuff you pile up on your deeply flawed base system doesn't matter, it will still be just **** in fancy wrapping paper.

The only sane reason I can come up with for that, other then that they don't know how to design a game, is that all playtest material is for show and that they have a super duper secret system behind the screen and all we see is just to fool the competition.
