A difference of opinion is resolved as easily as homebrewing your own universe. This isn't really what we're arguing though is it? You want your playstyle validated by the rules. I'm not denigrating your personal play preference, I'm questioning why you want it to supercede D&D's current status quo, which is, in it's clumsy way, an attempt at verisimilitude in a fantasy world made up of inherently different creatures.
