I think that the option is so blatantly apparent that it's not bypassing a rule, it's making use of another rule.
How have you felt about Wizards being able to learn Cleric spells?
Was that ok?
How is using the send to camp feature to manage carry weight any more exploiting the system than using certain dialogue choices to avoid combat is?
What rule are you bypassing, or negating by using dialogue choice?
Thats the difference.
