Indeed, this wasn't my intent. I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but there's often a tendency to treat RAW as all that is and all that can ever be... at which point you end up with healing-through-drowning and actions-after-death... and the rules end up getting treated as a bludgeon. The number of times I've heard someone fall back on "WHAT I'm SAYING IS RAW, YOU'RE WRONG!" is astounding, especially when their backing in the rules is tenuous at best.
