This is an inaccurate and lazy representation of my post. I'm not attached to RAW. What matters is that the core rules have been refined, so they have a lot of balance and fun in them. There are good reasons why the rules are they way they are. Alternate rules are fine if you are capable of also creating balance, identity, meaningful decisions, replayability, and many other benefits which are present in the core rules. But if your system doesn't provide those things, then yes, RAW is better.
